You may be wondering is tomato soup healthy for you.

Like with anything else, tomato soup is as healthy as the ingredients that go into it.
This recipe is no different.
 

This recipe for soup features fresh tomatoes.
 

You will need three pounds of fresh tomatoes.
That is about nine to 12 average sized tomatoes.

 

When you are making this soup you may be asking are you supposed to put milk into tomato soup.

Milk is often added to soup to make the soup a more creamy consistency.
However, this is a vegan soup recipe and as a result, there is no added milk in it.

This soup does have a thick consistency though.

The thick consistency comes from the tomatoes that are added.
This includes tomato paste.
 

 

Tips for making tomato soup.

I like this soup because it is easier to control the added salt thanks to the fresh ingredients that are in it. However, you can season the soup to your preferences too.
 

Here are some more great tips for you.

1. Using ripe tomatoes is essential to this soup. This is because the ripe tomatoes are more flavorful and meaty.
2. Using canned tomatoes is okay but, keep in mind that this will add sodium to the mix. You would need about two large cans and possibly extra cooking time.
3. While Roma tomatoes are my pick for this recipe, you can use another tomato. Rome tomatoes have a great flavor and consistency for this soup.

 

How to personalize tomato soup.

This soup is great the way it is.
It can even be transferred to a slow cooker for sharing with others.
 

Here is how to make your soup even better.

• Add additional vegetables such as beans or corn.
• If you have some cooked beef, vegan meat, or even chicken, you can toss those in too.
• Make your soup creamy by adding milk, cream, or even coconut cream.

How to store tomato soup.

Leftover soup should be cooled to room temperature and covered before storing it in the refrigerator. It should also last for up to three months if frozen.
