It’s easy to enjoy the flavor of summer during our cold and blistery winter months, if you’ve jarred or preserved your own fresh tomatoes or have a favorite brand to buy. I love this recipe for creamy tomato soup because it reminds me of summer without worrying about having to use a fresh seasonal product. 

Creamy Tomato Soup Final

Although it is creamy, I still use a bit of broth to thin it out to the desired consistency. If you like your soup thinner, you can always add more broth. I use the Saffron Road All Natural Classic Culinary Vegetable Broth, which is low in sodium and certified halal

Watch how I make it here: 

It’s really an easy recipe to make and if you have a hand blender, you can make it as smooth as you like. Otherwise, use a food processor or blender to blend as smooth as you like, but only once the soup is cooled.

My favorite way to have this soup is with toast and cheese or grilled cheese sandwiches, but there are no rules…
