Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe| Easy Soup Recipes

Last Modified: April 17, 2015

Tomato soup is a classic. At least in India where people dint know much about soups, tomato soup made it to the top in most hotel menus just because it was never made at home. I m sure the humble tomato soup has come a long way since then. And there are probably umpteen ways in which one can whip up tomato soup. My version today is a simple no fuss recipe. In case you want to walk that extra mile and have an extra extra special tomato soup, do check out my oven baked tomato soup.

I m a person who loves making things quickly in the kitchen. If you thought i was that girl who would stand sweating and steaming in a kitchen for hours on end, you are so wrong! I am a sucker for one pot meals and quick breakfasts. I always plan and prepare almost all of my meals a night in advance. You get my point here, dont you? So this tomato soup caters to my quick eager beaver self perfectly. You can make this well in advance, refrigerate, heat and serve whenever you want. I love this soup so much because it s such a respite from that bowl of preservative and ketchup loaded tomato soup that you get in most restaurants.
