Homemade Tomato Soup

Homemade tomato soup is a quick and easy version of one of the best comfort foods!

This is one of my favorite homemade soups. I have been making it for years. It is so easy to make, and it contains ingredients that I always have on hand.

I first shared this recipe way back in 2008. It uses just a few basic pantry ingredients, so I thought it was a good time to share it again.

This recipe is based on a tomato soup recipe from Martha Stewart magazine that I saw years ago. It caught my attention because it was easy to make and budget-friendly for a quick lunch or dinner.

I also love that this is a homemade version of a favorite food!

Our family does not eat much canned soup. I keep a few cans on hand for when we are sick or when I need a really fast lunch and I have nothing else to serve, but we don’t eat it often.

When I buy it, I buy either clam chowder or a chicken rice soup. One kind I don’t buy is tomato soup. None of us like canned tomato soup.

We don’t like it at all, but we love a good homemade tomato soup. It makes a nice, healthy winter meal or a nice, easy soup when we are sick.

I love eating this tomato soup for lunch. I am not very good about eating lunch. I often just grab something quick and snack like, but I am trying to get better at that and sit down and eat something better for me.

This tomato soup is perfect for when I want an easy and delicious lunch.

I also made this soup when my mom was visiting because I knew she would love it, and she did.

I love to serve this with my oven grilled cheese sandwiches. Grilled cheese and tomato soup just seem to go together. It is also good with cheese quesadillas instead of grilled cheese.

My kids love this with some small pasta, like orzo or alphabet soup noodles added into the soup.

What Do I Need To Make Homemade Tomato Soup?

butter
oil
onions
garlic
canned tomatoes
chicken broth
cream, milk, or 1/2 and 1/2 or you can leave it out for a dairy-free version
salt and pepper

This recipe has cream in it. I love it added in, but if you would like it dairy-free, just leave it out. And if I don’t have cream, I just use milk or 1/2 and 1/2. It is not as rich and creamy with milk, but it does work.
