Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe | SO Easy!
Serious Eats / Morgan Hunt Glaze. Prop Stylist: Claire Spollen Food Stylist: Chelsea Zimmer
Long before I started writing for Serious Eats I stumbled upon the site on a rainy day when I was craving a bowl of tomato soup. The recipes I’d found elsewhere with flourishes like sherry parmesan and caramelized onions didn’t match my childhood memories. Don’t get me wrong; those things sound objectively delicious but a craving’s a craving you know? That dreary evening I wanted something simple and hearty which I found in Nordstrom’s tomato basil soup.
Sure there was a lot of carrot in there but I figured the sweetness wouldn’t be so much of a factor but that it would balance out the acidity of the canned tomatoes and I was right. When pureed they gave the soup a creamy base and an element of freshness that the tomatoes breathed new life into. That was over nine years ago and I’ve made it regularly ever since.
