I love this tomato soup. I think tomato soup brings back childhood memories of Campbell Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese.

Tomato soup is warming on these cold winter days and equally satisfying in spring or summer!

I love tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich or a pimiento cheese sandwich like in this photo below!

Whether with a sandwich or just with crackers, I think you’ll love this recipe!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Stick Butter
  • 1 Large onion, diced
  • 1/4 Cup Flour
  • 1 28 oz Can diced tomatoes
  • 1 Cup Chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/4 Tsp Celery salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black pepper
  • 1/8 Tsp Cayenne, optional
  • 1/3 Cup Heavy cream
  • 1 Tsp Honey
  • Zest of a lemon
  • Juice of a lemon

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the onions and cook gently until soft and translucent, about 20 minutes. Do not brown. 
  • Add flour and stir until mixture is slightly thick and pale good, about 3 minutes. 
  • Stir in the tomatoes and juices, chicken broth, sugar, salt, celery salt, and pepper. 
  • Raise the heat to medium until the liquid bubbles, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan frequently. 
  • Stir in the cream and honey, remove from the heat and purée using a hand blender or allow to cool and purée in batches in the blender. 
  • Return to the pan and add the zest of one lemon and the juice. Do not bring to a boil, just heat through. Serve hot and add a little of the heavy cream if you like.

    Yesss, Becky! Delicious soup with a swirl of butter to be sipped and sopped up by Mom’s grilled cheese! (We make the best grilled cheese sandwiches)-the simpler the better, right? It’s one of my favorites, and brings back many memories. I didn’t think I liked it until I saw how much you all love tomato soup. I too love it now!!

      Bryan, you have to make this soup! It is so easy and so delicious! Adding the lemon zest and lemon juice at the end takes it to another level!! Thank you for your support and comment!
