What could be more comforting than a steaming hot bowl of Tomato Soup made with ingredients straight from the Pantry!
This tomato soup is so quick and easy to whip up and it tastes wonderful. You very probably have most of the ingredients in your fridge and pantry. Soup is generally very forgiving, meaning if you don’t have all the ingredients on hand it doesn’t matter one little bit. Nope. If you don’t have dried fennel don’t worry about it. Leave it out. I’ve even made this with water instead of vegetable broth and it was fabulous. I just added a dash of balsamic vinegar at the end to liven it up!
Depending on how you feel you may want to add a can of cannellini beans. Beans are a vegans best friend. Full of protein and fiber they also add a “creaminess” when pureed. No need for heavy cream, try a can of beans. Your heart will thank you too:)
It’s lovely not to have to wait until the summer to use fresh tomatoes to make soup. San Marzano are the best canned tomatoes, they’re wonderfully flavorful.
Doubling up the recipe is a great idea, I usually have some soup in the freezer for a night when I’m caught short. This freezes very well and it’s a comfort to know it’s there when you need it.
