This rich and creamy tomato soup is made using fresh tomatoes for the best possible flavour. It is super easy to make and will put tinned tomato soup into the shade I promise.

Cream Of Tomato Soup Using Fresh Tomatoes

Like so many people my favourite comfort food since childhood just has to be tomato soup. A hug in a mug.

While my Mum was a prolific soup maker she never made tomato soup, that was always left to a certain Mr Heinz and his 57 varieties.

While I  adore homemade soup and make a lot of it myself I still love a mug of good old tinned tomato soup. This easy recipe is my take on tomato soup and the nearest I could get to the great Mr Heinz.

Keep it simple

While there is always the temptation with any recipe to start adding in lots of extras for flavour I have found that with this one it is a matter of keeping it simple with just a few flavours and using fresh tomatoes.

Fresh tomatoes v tinned tomatoes

While I am a huge fan of tinned tomatoes and use them in loads of recipes. I do adore fresh tomatoes. Especially those I grow myself in the garden.

Making tomato soup using fresh tomatoes gives a completely different flavour to the soup.

Ingredients for fresh tomato soup

You can use two large beefsteak tomatoes, you know those really big flavourful guys or a bunch of really nice vine tomatoes

Some dried oregano

half an onion

a clove of garlic

some tomato paste plus Dijon mustard and salt and pepper.

How to make fresh tomato soup

You want to quarter the tomatoes and grill them first or roast them in the oven. This really brings out the richness and sweet flavour of tomatoes. Even the most basic of supermarket tomatoes can sing a song of flavour with a bit of a toasting either under the grill or in the oven.

Saute the onion for 3 minutes then add garlic for 1 minute before tipping in the tomatoes and all the other ingredients and covering with water.

Simmer for 15 minutes then blitz with stick blender.

Simple homemade cream of tomato soup is ready to serve with any toppings or nothing at all, just a hug in a mug.

How to serve creamy tomato soup

I’ve jazzed things up when serving with just a few flakes of dried chilli and olive oil. Love putting little toppers on my soup, it adds so much interest and flavour.

Can you freeze tomato soup

Yes of course you can. Make a big batch of this soup then allow it to cool completely and pack into freezer proof bags and freeze for up to 3 months.
