Notes

  • For a richer flavor, roast tomatoes with olive oil and garlic before adding them to the soup.
  • Use cherry tomatoes for a sweeter cherry tomato soup variation.
  • Add carrots, celery, or beans for a hearty tomato vegetable soup.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for 2 months.
