Let’s make homemade tomato soup!
The weather has cooled back off here in Tennessee! So let’s make soup! Tomato soup is so easy I used to eat it from a can and have a stomach ache for days. Now a days I make it myself with healthy easy ingredients.
So let's get to it! Chop up tomatoes of your choice I usually mix 2-4 kinds but it really depends on you and what's in season. I prefer heirloom tomatoes from my local produce store.
Next throw some carrots, purple onion, garlic gloves and rosemary in a pan. I don't measure really but if I was guessing I would say 4-5 full size tomatoes, 5-10 garlic cloves, 1 medium onion, and 3-4 sprigs of rosemary and half a cup of carrots . Throw these in a pan and salt well. Cover with a good quality olive oil and bake at 400 until vegetables are completely cooked down and tender/ very soft. We don't want chunky soup.
Once done blend until smooth and add in 1 cup of heavy cream and mix well! Enjoy with a grilled cheese.

Tomato soup is not only a comforting dish but also an excellent way to incorporate seasonal produce into your meals. By using a blend of different tomatoes, such as heirloom and cherry tomatoes, you can achieve a rich flavor profile. Roasting your vegetables enhances their sweetness, resulting in a balanced soup base. You can experiment by adding spices like basil or thyme for an extra kick. To add more nutrition, consider including vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. If you prefer a lighter version, swap heavy cream for coconut milk or a splash of vegetable broth. The addition of fresh herbs not only adds freshness but also enhances the aroma of the soup. As you enjoy your homemade soup, remember that it's versatile; you can adjust the ingredients based on what you have available in your pantry! For a complete meal, serve your soup with a side of crusty bread or a mixed green salad. This simple yet satisfying dish is perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in.
