Our Most Delicious Tomato Soup Recipes

Consider the beloved juicy, red tomato. It is one of the easiest plants to grow in the summer—so easy, in fact, that we plant too many and spend the sweltering months caring for and harvesting basketfuls of seasonal tomatoes. In the summer, we're incorporating them into every dish from sandwiches and tomato pies to fresh garden salads. Tomatoes will always be a favorite among the summer vegetable bounty, and we love to share our excess produce with our family and friends. We also love tomatoes because of their versatility. They can be frozen or canned and stored away for the cold winter months when we crave a taste of summer goodness. With a few additional ingredients, frozen or canned tomatoes can be turned into a thick and creamy comforting dish. Many of us grew up loving a bowl of warm tomato soup accompanied by a crispy grilled cheese, enjoyed regardless of the season (or time of day). While there's nothing wrong with reaching for a can of your favorite store-brand tomato soup, be sure to add a few ingredients to kick it up a notch. But if you want to start from scratch and make your own, we have you covered. From warm summer afternoons to chilly winter nights, these tomato soup recipes are sure to be crowd-pleasers.
