Tomato soup is a timeless classic that has been enjoyed for generations, and there’s nothing quite like a bowl of homemade tomato soup to bring warmth and comfort to your table and belly. It’s such a staple in the home and can be used for lunch or dinner.

Tomato soup is packed with nutrition and health benefits, making it a delicious and nourishing choice for any meal. Here are some of the key nutritional benefits of tomato soup:

1. Vitamin C: Tomatoes are a great source of vitamin C, which is important for immune system function, collagen production, and maintaining healthy skin.
2. Antioxidants: Tomatoes are also a particularly good source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that has been linked to numerous health benefits, including protection against oxidation stress, cancer prevention, and cardiovascular health.

Few things are as comforting and nostalgic as a steaming bowl of tomato soup. This humble dish has been a staple in homes and restaurants for generations, and its versatility and simplicity have earned it a well-deserved place in the hearts (and stomachs) of people everywhere.

Whether you prefer a smoother, creamier texture or a more chunky soup this homemade tomato soup recipe is the best of its kind.

Tomato Soup is filling enough to be eaten alone, but I recommend enjoying it with some grilled cheese on homemade sourdough bread. I like to add ingredients into my bread during the stretch and folds to make the bread tastier and give it an extra pop of flavor. I previously enjoyed adding pepperoncini’s, stuffed olives, and cheddar cheese to my sourdough. That combined with the tomato soup had me and my family stay full for hours and coming back for seconds.

One of my biggest hacks as a full-time working mom is to make food in bulk and freeze any leftover for future meals. Soup is one of the easiest foods to freeze and is maintains its flavor well after being thawed. It is easy to reheat too! I have bought “Souper Cubes”, they are pre-portioned out silicone molds that you can dump soups, chili’s, and any liquids into.

Dumping in a freezer safe Ziploc bag is a great second option, I would recommend freezing flat to help save space in your freezer.

There are several different ways to add nutrients to your tomato soup. Besides the benefits of adding herbs and fresh produce, adding chicken stock is a great way to boost nutrients and add extra flavor. With added electrolyte benefits it aids in digestibility and helps those who are immunocompromised or recovering from illness.

This is also a great way of helping you heal post partum. Check out my homemade chicken stock recipe.
