Tips for Making Grandma's Old Fashioned Creamy Tomato Soup:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If fresh tomatoes are unavailable, you can substitute a 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to use a variety of spices in your soup. The combination of onion, garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme gives this soup its classic flavor, but you can also experiment with other spices, such as cumin, paprika, or chili powder.
  • If you like a smooth soup, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it is creamy. You can also puree the soup in a blender or food processor, but be careful not to over-blend it or the soup will become too thick.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, or a few croutons. You can also serve it with a side of grilled cheese sandwiches or a salad.

Grandma's Old Fashioned Creamy Tomato Soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it smooth or chunky, spicy or mild, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table.
