The weather is turning colder now. There’s definitely a chill in the air, and on a cold night this is the perfect cozy dinner. I have never made tomato soup before, but had pleasant memories of the red and white can. I might have thought it would be difficult to make or time consuming, but this recipe is so simple.

If you’re craving soup in the summer, you could make this with juicy, red, ripe tomatoes from your garden. But this time of year, it’s best just to use to canned. They were picked at their peak and all that yummy goodness of perfectly ripe tomatoes is preserved for you. And, it also makes this homemade tomato soup super easy to put together. I read that the baking soda keeps the milk from curdling, and it certainly worked. I also used my new immersion blender that my sweet husband picked up for me a little while ago to make the roasted garlic and potato soup. It worked great, really great, and I think this might be the beginning of soup making winter for me.

The perfect accompaniment to a hot bowl of home made tomato soup? A grilled cheese. I used fresh, crusty white bread, soft butter, marble and Havarti cheese. It didn’t disappoint.

  1. I’m going to make some of this with my frozen roma tomatoes and basil harvested from the summer season….really easy with the handblender, eh!!!

  2. So sorry Beth-Anne a 1/4 tsp. of baking soda, I’ll fix the recipe. Thanks for letting me know, hope it still worked out for you.

  3. Hi Nisha,
    Either whole or diced tomatoes should work -don’t drain, add in the whole can of either.
    Good luck with it,
    Dannyelle
