Fire Roasted Tomato Soup

Fire roasted canned tomatoes take this soup up a notch so if you’ve never used them before you need to pick up a few cans as soon as possible. The deep, smoky tomato flavor makes a difference in this creamy soup. After a bit of chopping and dicing the tomatoes simmer with regular canned tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and some broth to allow the flavors to develop. 

Homemade Tomato Soup

Perfect to pair alongside a crispy grilled cheese sandwich, this creamy tomato soup is a great recipe for a cold day. It can sometimes be difficult to find fresh juicy tomatoes in the winter but with this recipe, there’s no need to worry about the fresh tomatoes at the grocery store because the soup gets its amazing flavor from canned tomatoes.

If you like a heartier, chunkier soup you can go ahead and add some vegetables while you saute the onions and garlic, and throw in some beans, or leftover meat or chicken from the fridge. Feel free to change up the flavor profile too if you like, I’ve suggested Mexcian toppings but Italian will taste just as good.

For complete ingredients and instructions scroll to the bottom of this post for the full printable recipe. 

• Onion – I used a large yellow onion, diced but a white onion will also work. 
• Garlic – Fresh garlic cloves, minced, taste great but jarred garlic is a good substitute. 
• Olive oil – Extra virgin olive for sauteing is the best but any kind will work. 
• Canned tomatoes -San Marzano whole tomatoes are my first choice but any kind are good. 
• Fire-roasted tomatoes –  I prefer Muir Glen Organic canned fire-roasted tomatoes
• Tomato sauce – Tomato sauce helps add a tomato broth. 
• Tomato paste – Tomato paste thickens the soup.
• Chicken stock – Use chicken stock, or chicken broth, or make it vegetarian and use vegetable broth or stock. 
• Sea salt
• White pepper – I used white pepper but black pepper will also work. 
• Milk – I used Vitamin D milk but any type of milk is good.
• Tortilla strips – I used the ones traditionally used on salads. 
• Sour cream – Sour cream complements the flavors of the tomato soup well.
