How to Make Easy Tomato Soup

Whether you’ve canned your own tomatoes or bought them at the store, this soup comes together in about 20 minutes using pantry staples—canned tomatoes and tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and of course, butter. Dice an onion; add a little garlic, and let it simmer! I use an immersion blender to purée it, but if you don’t have one, don’t worry. You can also use a countertop blender, or don’t bother blending it at all. This recipe is as easy as dumping soup from a can, but makes more servings and tastes much better.

What To Serve With Tomato Soup?

Tomato soup is to grilled cheese what peanut butter is to jelly, but you don’t have to stop there.

Can You Freeze Tomato Soup?

Absolutely! Tomato soup is the perfect recipe to make ahead and save for a busy weeknight meal down the road. You could also give it to friend who is recovering from an illness, just had a baby, or is feeling a little overwhelmed and could use a home cooked meal! Make a double batch, freeze half, and have it ready when you (or someone you love) needs it! Keep it in any freezer-safe container. Make sure you leave enough space (about an inch) for the soup to expand as it freezes. It should keep for up to six months.
