It’s so simple to make, is ready in 20 minutes and is oh-so-delicious. Just what we need to offset the bleakness of winter. Some winter days just need a bowl of warming soup, don’t they? And a rich, nourishing, colourful, easy Tomato Soup always hits the mark. You can tuck up with this one in less than 20 minutes and for the easy wins we’re using tinned tomatoes. Yes, really! The best way to make tomato soup from scratch would probably be with expensive vine-ripened fresh tomatoes, but the reality is many of us don’t have those all year round. Tinned tomatoes are a great stand-in – they’re easy to get hold of, relatively inexpensive and we usually have them stocked up already.
Why you’ll love this recipe
⭐️ Low cost, healthy and low effort ⭐️ Ready in under 20 minutes ⭐️ Great to freeze for future wins Soup is usually made up of affordable and simple ingredients, doesn’t take long to make, is pretty healthy and can even be thrown together in a slow cooker. What I love most though is just how comforting a bowl of it can be once autumn and winter set in. We have to enjoy what we can in these months, and soup is just one of the many winter warmers we can let ourselves indulge in without any fuss or cost.
Easy Tomato Soup Ingredients
Olive oil – Regular, not extra virgin Onion – I use pre-prepared chopping and frozen for speed Garlic – Same as above Tinned tomatoes – It’s important to buy good quality tinned tomatoes for this recipe as that’s where a lot of the flavour comes from. I like brands Cirio or Mutti in the UK. Tomato puree – Same as above Vegetable stock – Stock made with a cube is fine. I like Marigold powder. Pesto – Any jar of ready-made pesto is fine for this Balsamic vinegar – Again good quality makes a big difference here Bread – Your choice but something crunchy would be great Grated cheese – Any kind
In the freezer This recipe freezes well. Just wait until it’s totally cold and then portion up into freezer proof containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before reheating in the microwave or on the hob. You could also do with my other soup recipes:
