Easy Creamy Tomato Soup

Why a basic creamy tomato soup? Because I LOVE tomato soup and I got tired of making my husband get it for me from Whole Foods for crazy high prices.

Theres almost no effort needed in making this soup, it is as easy as letting your dutch oven simmer on the stovetop with a few simple ingredients and using your immersion blender.

You will LOVE this creamy tomato soup. Plus we’re still in soup weather and we’re coming into tomato weather soon so I feel like its a great time for us to discuss tomato soup.

Croutons? Tomato Soup Toppings:

Yep those are croutons on top of my tomato soup. Because I buy some with awesome garlic flavor and when I’m not in a grilled cheese mood I still want something bread/butter/crispy and croutons are the best and easiest way to make my tomato soup dreams happen.

I usually add a few more than that and dunk about half of them into the bowl to soften them. When you eat them within a couple of minutes the inside of the croutons are still crispy too.

Classic Tomato Soup

This recipe isn’t full of lots of unique ingredients, herbs and spices. We don’t have a bunch of spinach or kale or basil in the mix. This is your classic Campbell’s Tomato Soup kicked up about 10 notches. The fanciest thing I’ve added here is heavy cream (and you can even sub half and half or whole milk).

How to make Tomato Soup in the oven:

To make the soup completely in the oven you’re going to add the tomatoes and garlic and spices to your dutch oven with the olive oil and roast it at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Once roasted, you’ll puree the ingredients, add in the cream and liquids and let it finish cooking low and slow, covered at 300 degrees for an additional 30 minutes.

Can you freeze creamy tomato soup?

Yes, you can freeze creamy tomato soup assuming the milk product used in the soup is heavy cream. If you use half and half or milk in the soup don’t add it before freezing. Freeze without, then thaw and add in in while gently reheating the soup.
