Rustic Tomato Soup Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Our garden tomatoes have been very generous this year. And as the weather cools, I’ve been finding myself making this simple, delicious Tomato Soup Recipe on repeat.

Not only is it relatively easy to put together, it’s a crowd pleaser in our house too… meaning myself, my husband and our two small boys enjoy it every time. Better still, our 4 year old loves getting involved and doing all the tomato picking. #winwin

I suggest adding some crispy bacon and serving alongside a loaf of fresh bread or warm focaccia with a dab of butter.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried this recipe!

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 450 F or 235 C. Lightly grease large baking sheet, set aside.

Notes

 
Note: Add more cream / milk for a thinner soup or less for a thicker rustic soup. Sprinkle cheese and add a sprig of extra basil to each bowl. Enjoy!
