Homemade tomato soup is easy to throw together and is ready in 30 minutes. Use canned or fresh tomatoes, the flavor is perfect either way.
I love a good tomato soup and this one is by far my favorite! I always have a freezer full of fresh tomatoes from my garden and this tomato soup from scratch recipe is such a perfect way to use them up.
Actually, almost everything in this homemade tomato basil soup was stored from my garden. Even the dried basil! It’s such a fresh and delicious recipe, it can bring a little sunshine into your life even on a stormy winter day.
And, because evidently, I am still 10 years old at heart, I love serving this with some grilled cheese.
If you aren’t feeling 10 years old, you can serve it with some delicious croutons. I love the crunch and texture they add to the homemade tomato soup.
I prefer to blend this soup a little bit with my immersion blender. You can leave it chunky, or blend it with a blender.
If you use a blender DO NOT fill the blender over halfway full! Hot liquids expand and it can be dangerous to blend them if you aren’t careful.
