30 minute Tomato soup
One of the reasons that I love this soup so much is because it’s ready in around 30 minutes.
Using flavorful canned tomatoes means it won’t require a long cooking time, and it also creates a wonderfully rich soup and creamy soup!
Can you make it ahead of time?
Soup is a perfect option for meal prep and make ahead meals. Once you have made the tomato soup, let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. The soup will keep in the fridge for around 4 days.
You can also freeze the soup and it will keep for around 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight or at room temperature.
You can reheat the soup in the microwave or on the stovetop.


Why This Soup Is So Good!
Homemade tomato soup can sometimes be bland, but this recipe is so rich and tangy (thanks Mom!). This tomato soup is so well seasoned and the canned Marzano D.O.P tomatoes are a quick and easy way to make it super bold. No more watery tomato soup for us!
Serving Suggestions
I made the cheesiest crostini to go along with this creamy tomato soup and it’s absolutely perfect! It’s basically grilled cheese, but much fancier.
This is such a staple recipe in my house because it pairs well with so many dishes. Sometimes you just want a bowl of soup with crusty bread, sometimes you want to serve it with grilled cheese or another sandwich. It also makes a great pre-dinner soup and complements a lot of my favorite chicken recipes.


Tips and Notes
- Be sure to use canned Marzano D.O.P tomatoes. They add so much flavor without the need for long simmering times.
- You can skip the blending if you prefer a chunkier tomato soup. If you want to blend it you the easiest way is to use an immersion blender. Alternatively you can ladle the soup into a stand blender in batches.
- Make a double batch! This soup keeps really well and is great for freezer meals!
