Key Ingredients of the Soup

• Canned tomatoes: Instead of using fresh tomatoes, this soup is made from canned tomatoes, so you can make it anytime, even in the winter.
• Broth: In this recipe, I’m using chicken broth, but you can also use vegetable broth if you want vegan soup. If you are buying broth from the supermarket, make sure it’s low-sodium.
• Tomato paste: It thickens the soup and gives it more flavor.
• Garlic: No soup is ready without garlic, as it adds flavor to the soup.
• Seasoning: For this soup, we are going with traditional thyme, rosemary, and oregano. You can add Italian seasoning as well as it works great with tomato soup.
• Heavy cream: It adds creaminess to the soup. Half and half also works great. If you want a dairy-free soup, you can add plant-based milk or olive oil.
• Shallots: They add more flavor to the soup.
• Salt and pepper for seasoning.

Serving Suggestions

When you transfer the soup to bowls, garnish with a bit of heavy cream and cheese.

There are plenty of things you can serve with the soup. Here are a few of my favorite side dishes that go well with this tomato soup:

• Grilled cheese sandwich
• Potato salad
• Fried cheese sticks

• Baked cheese Quesadillas
• Avocado salad

Tips to Make the Best Soup

Most people complain that the soup is too runny. If that is the case, you can thicken the soup by adding cornstarch. Just mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch in a little bit of water and add it to the soup mixture. Blend at high speed, and you will see that the soup will thicken instantly.

A little bit of cornstarch goes a long way. Don’t add too much as it will make the soup lumpy.

Instead of adding raw garlic, I prefer using roasted garlic in this recipe as it enhances the flavor of the soup. You can roast garlic beforehand and use it in your soup and other recipes.

If you want to make this soup dairy-free, just omit the cream, and instead add a bit of olive oil to taste. However, a little bit of cheese on the soup tastes absolutely lovely.
