Cream of Tomato Soup (2024)

Make up a big pot of this delicious Cream of Tomato Soup - a perfect recipe for the whole family.

My kids love soup, so I make up a pot regularly, it's a great way of getting vegetables into fussy ones (adults and children).

I don't know about you, but cream of tomato soup, always brings back childhood memories for me. It's a soup I would eat regularly, great when you feel poorly but usually served with thick white bread spread with lashings of butter. Unfortunately the latter isn't something I can entertain anymore, but for me, bread and butter is my weakness. I can't stop at just one or two slices, so for that reason I tend to avoid it altogether.

"But you can't have a bowl of cream of tomato soup without something to dunk into it", I hear you say and that is very true, but there are so many other options for turning that little bowl of soup into something more filling. You could make a nice sandwich to go with it.

Other things you can do, is top with some protein. I love adding shredded cooked chicken to the top of my soup or even some sliced cooked sausages. But a really great things is this delicious Cheesy Garlic Cauliflower Bread, it is cheesy and garlicky and just perfect for dunking in this delicious Cream of Tomato Soup.

But how do you get soup creamy while still keeping it healthy? Well I have recently been using cottage cheese in lots of recipes and this comes from someone who hates cottage cheese as it is, with all those curds. Bleurgh!!It's isn't something that appeals to me.

However, if youblend, so that it is smooth, it tastes lovely and creamy and is perfect for sweets/desserts or for adding a little bit of creaminess to savoury dishes. I actually prefer it to quark, as it doesn't have that sour taste likequark does. Plus quark is pretty hard to get here in Canada anyway, there is only one store I have found that stocks it, and they don't always have some. So this works out as a perfect alternative for those of you who live out of the UK who struggle to find quark.

For the tomato part of the soup, I use a mixture of canned crushed tomatoes and fresh grape tomatoes. I recommend not skipping the fresh tomatoes, as they just make any sauce or soup taste so much better in my opinion. Canned Tomatoes tend to be acidic in taste because of how they have been preserved, but fresh tomatoes when cooked are lovely and sweet and so they compliment this Cream of Tomato Soup perfectly.

I also add as little bit of Sukrin Gold( anatural brown sugar sweetener with no aftertaste and my preferred choice when making baked goods or wanting to sweeten things). Up until my discover of this, I would just use honey or maple syrup, as I hate that aftertaste that certain sweeteners can have, but this really does taste good.

To blend my soup so that it is really smooth,I use my Nutri Ninja Blender withAuto IQ (click to see me on amazon). This blender is amazing. The auto iq technology feature, mean it blends to a set pattern depending on what it is your are making, so my soups are lovely and smooth and perfect.

This soup can be made stove top orin an Instant Pot (which is a multi function Pressure Cooker and one of my most used kitchen items). This is one of the best things I have ever bought and I use it almost daily in one way or another.

It is basically a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute’s, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven’t tried that yet). Hey I even cook my boiled eggs in this, you should see how effortlessly they peel.
