    How do you make simple Tomato Soup?

    It's much easier than you might think!

    I've always had the idea in my head to make my own tomato soup, but usually when I want to eat tomato soup... I want to eat it right then and there, not 25 hours later when the tomatoes are roasted and all the prep is done. So, to avoid all those 25 extra hours (I know, I know, I'm exaggerating!), I cheated!

    Truth be told, I was kind of forced into creating this recipe and was shocked at how delicious it is! I was creating the idea for Grown Up Grilled Cheese with Fig and Pepper Relish  and, of course I need the yang to go with the yin.

    The secret to this tomato soup is the canned Fire Roasted Tomatoes! Cheating... don't care. I didn't want to spend 25 long and tedious hours building a fire and roasting each tomato and I bet you don't either. Add a little chicken stock, salt and pepper, and we have our soup base. It doesn't get much easier than that!

    Can I make this Tomato Soup Recipe with fresh tomatoes?

    Of course! It's going to take about 25 tomatoes to make the equivalent of canned tomatoes in this recipe, so if you have a garden with plenty of tomatoes this is a great way use them up.

    Oven Method

    Although I have made oven fire roasted tomatoes before, I don't have a recipe on the blog. So... I googled some and after reading through each one, I liked the tips and instructions for freezing in this article; How to Make Fire Roasted Tomatoes in the Oven by Mashup Mom.

    Grill Method

    It was a bit harder to find a simple, but clear recipe for fire roasted tomatoes on the grill. Once summer arrives, I will be experimenting for sure. Here is an article from Cooks Illustrated, How to Grill Tomatoes that is pretty straightforward with several good tips.

    Easy Method

    Buy the canned ones! Seriously, though... there is nothing better than fresh any day of the week. No one can argue that, but hey, it's real life here and real life can be too busy to always use fresh. I have tried out several different brands of Fire Roasted Tomatoes and my favorite is Hunt's Fire Roasted Tomatoes.

    Tips for making Easy Tomato Soup

    Puree the tomatoes and stock in blender before cooking, but don't add the cream yet or you'll end up whipping the cream.

    I left my soup base with a little bit of texture, but if you want a smoother soup puree longer and then strain the soup through a fine mesh strainer or chinois.

    Don't let the soup boil. Heat on low after adding the cream for the best flavor.

    It's time to disclose my secret ingredient in grown up version of tomato soup... mascarpone cheese! Yep, there you have it! This little teaspoon of decadence transforms a wonderfully delicious tomato soup into a masterpiece of perfection and just grown up enough to impress the most savvy of tomato soup connoisseurs.

    Do not miss the recipe for Grown Up Grilled Cheese... these two are the yin and yang of comfort food... all grown up!

      With the Ninja Foodi, do you think roasting the tomatoes would be quicker? Sure, the canned will still be faster, but I'm thinking the smell of roasting them would be amazing! If only I had a green thumb instead of a black one!

        I haven't tired roasting my own in the Ninja Foodi, but I will as soon as my tomatoes ripen. I am sure you can do it, it won't be quicker, but I'm sure it will be delicious!
