How to make Tomato Soup
When I say this soup is simple, I mean it. In a sauce pan, add in olive oil and sauté your onions, toss in some garlic too if you like it.
Once the onions are soft, add in the canned crushed tomatoes, broth or water, and seasonings. Give it a stir. Continue to heat over medium heat until warm enough to enjoy.
If you aren’t a fan of the pieces of onion you can puree your soup in a blender or with an immersion blender.
Serve and Enjoy!
Gluten Free
There are many reasons I love this easy soup! One of them is because it is naturally gluten free. So many of those store bought soups contain hidden wheat or milk. This is just straight forward delicious tomato soup!
Vegan
This recipe is vegan as long as you use vegetable broth or water in the soup instead of chicken broth. Even better with a dollop of vegan sour cream swirled in! YUM!
Storage
Store any uneaten soup in a container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat and enjoy!
Serving
This easy tomato soup is amazing with a grilled cheese. We also like to swirl in a dollop of sour cream into the center of the soup for some added creaminess. It really is delicious!
