Cream of Tomato Soup Recipe
Cream of Tomato Soup is a thick soup made from tomatoes, cream, pepper, onion and garlic. It is more than an appetizer and with bread sticks it can be easily served as a fulfilling dinner. It is a gentle and soothing soup.
It is prepared in less than 30 minutes and is extremely flavorful. I adapted this recipe from Martha Stewart creamy tomato recipe.
Now bit of interesting facts about Tomato Soup. Tomato soup is a soup made with tomatoes as the primary ingredient. It may be served hot or cold, and can be made in many styles. It may be smooth in texture, and there are also recipes which include chunks (or small pieces) of tomato, cream and chicken/vegetable stock. Popular toppings for tomato soup include sour cream or croutons. Tomato soup is one of the top comfort foods in Poland and the United States. It can be made “from scratch” by blanching fresh tomatoes, removing the skins, and then blending into a puree.

Hi Anita,
I made this soup tonight. Was delicious. Next time though I would blanch the tomatoes and use them. The skins were a little annoying. I really like the dense texture of the soup. Thanks for the recipe. Will post it in my blog in the next couple of days with your link to it.
Cheers,
Sandhya
