This rich, smooth Creamy Tomato Soup packs tons of flavor in each spoonful. Serve on its own or with a sandwich or salad for a satisfying lunch or dinner.

You are going to want to add this delicious soup to your regular lunch and dinner rotation, because it is so simple to make and only uses a handful of ingredients – most of which you probably already have on hand. It is a fantastic way to add tomatoes to your diet, which have a myriad of health benefits.

Health Benefits of Tomatoes

The superstar ingredient of this soup recipe is, you guessed it, tomatoes! So let’s talk about why tomatoes are so good for you:

• Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants
• They are a great source of Vitamins A & C
• They are the best source of lycopene, an antioxidant that is tied to enhanced immunity and cancer risk reduction
• Tomatoes contain a compound called lutein, which protects eye health and preserves eyesight

So now you can have your soup and feel good about it too! 🙂

This soup has a smooth, velvety texture because all the ingredients get blended together. I use an immersion blender to puree the soup, but if you don’t have one, you can transfer the soup to a traditional blender and blend it in batches.

Important: Be sure to do the following when using a traditional blender to blend hot liquids:

1. Be sure to only fill up the blender until it is halfway full, because any more than that can cause an accident.
2. Remove the center insert in the lid of your blender to allow hot air to escape. Then keep your hand on top of the lid with a dish towel, keeping most of the hole covered, to avoid any splashes.

Serve this soup with my Tuna Melt Sandwiches, Simple Cornbread or Apple Avocado Spinach Salad for a complete, filling meal.

For this Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe, I recommend:

• Pot/Dutch Oven – This one is super affordable and the quality is excellent. I love using it to make soups and stews.
• Immersion/Hand Blender – This is the one I use and love! I have had mine for years and it is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I use it all the time to make soups and smoothies.
