Light and easy tomato soup gives you all the comfort of a homemade creamy tomato soup without adding those unwanted calories!

Tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches.

Ever get nostalgic for tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches?  I do.  However, I find that the canned version leaves a lot to be desired.  This homemade version is delicious, easy, and customizable to your taste.  It can be super kid-friendly or stepped up to suit grown-up tastes.  Great for lunch or dinner!

How to make tomato soup:

With the exception of herbs and spices, this is all you need to make this soup.  Vegetable broth, a can of V8, a can of petite diced tomatoes, and a cup of half and half. 

  1. Pour the veg. broth, V8, and diced tomatoes into a soup pot.  Bring to a boil.  Simmer for 15 minutes. 
  2. Blend smooth with an emulsion blender, a regular blender, or a food processor. 
  3. Add the half and half.   Blend again until smooth. 

Now your soup is done at a very basic level.  Totally kid-friendly.  If you are looking to spice it up a bit, you can add basil or Italian seasoning to your taste.  If you want a spicier soup, then you can use spicy V8.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches, and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use tomato soup for?

Since this is not a condensed soup, you wouldn't want to use it in place of the canned version.ย  However, it can be used as a light side dish to sandwiches or salads.

How do you dress up tomato soup?

You can always use some fresh basil or parsley to garnish this soup.ย ย 

What does tomato soup taste like?

According to Google, it tastes like summer in a bowl.ย  I am really not sure what that even means.ย  Anyway, in my opinion, it's a mild-flavored soup with a balance of tomato-y flavor and sweetness.ย ย
