No other fruit or veggie comes close to matching the tomato’s versatility in soup. It goes from forming the base of a refreshing chilled creation to that of a piping hot, hearty winter meal with no sweat at all. And a bowlful of the creamy stuff? Well, a classic grilled cheese has never had a better parter in crime. Enjoy these 20 scrumptious tomato soups that will have you retiring your can opener for good.
1. Roasted Tomato Soup With Grilled Cheese Croutons: As if croutons could get any better, the ones topping this stellar soup had to go ahead and be made out of grilled cheese. #Swoon (via Jessica in the Kitchen)
2. Cherry Tomato Gazpacho: Using sweet cherry tomatoes ensures that your gazpacho doesn’t skew too far toward the acidic end of the spectrum. A little bit of Sriracha and a Fresno chili gives this chilled soup some heat. (via Pixels and Crumbs)
3. Tortilla Soup: A kicked up tomato soup that’s blended ’til smooth is a fantastic blank slate for an assortment of tasty toppings. Tortilla chips are a given, but chicken, cheese and avocado are also classic add-ins. (via Lakyn and Judah)
4. Pappa al Pomodoro: This is one hearty soup that’s hard to get enough of, and a great way to use up the last bit of a loaf of bread. (via Bon Appétit)
5. Garlic Panna Cotta With Tomato Soup: Dig into this chilled tomato-basil soup to reveal a savory garlicpanna cotta underneath it all. (via Tasting Table)
6. Chunky Vegetable Soup: Give the blender a bit of a rest by leaving half of the veggies nice and chunky. Chickpeas add a nice helping of protein, providing this soup with some serious staying power. (via Lynsey Loves Food)
7. Tomato Soup With Grilled Cheese and Bacon Croutons: As if grilled cheese croutons weren’t delicious enough, the ones sprinkled on top of this bowlful of piping hot soup manage to sneak in a bit of bacon. (via Cherry on My Sundae)
8. Brazilian-style Tomato Soup: What a fun way to serve up bread, cheese and soup. (via Brazilian Flair in the USA)
9. Roasted Tomato-Fennel Soup: Fennel adds a subtle licorice flavor to this sweet, roasted tomato soup. (via The Delicious World of Chefette Spicy)
10. Creamy Tomato Soup With Roasted Chickpea Croutons (Paleo, Vegan): A handful of cashews blended into the mix create a creamy soup sans dairy. Talk about dreamy. (via Love, Life, Eat)
11. Courgette + Tomato Basil Soup (Vegan): Zucchini and tomatoes work well together in ratatouille, so it totally makes sense that they blend up beautifully in soup. Care to freeze a few bowlfuls for later enjoyment? Simply omit the basil until you’re ready to reheat it. (via The Flexitarian)
12. Gazpacho: If you think gazpacho isn’t for you, give this celery-free version a try. You may become a fan after all. (via Taste Love + Nourish)
13. Creamless Creamy Tomato Soup: A few slices of bread blended into this soup are the secret to giving it a creamy mouthfeel without a single splash of cream. Even better: It’s ready in mere minutes. (via Culinary Hill)
14. Caprese Tomato Soup: Luxurious burrata coupled with a sweet balsamic reduction and fresh basil makes this twist on the classic caprese unlike any other. (via Damn Delicious)
15. Chilled Tomato Soup With Tabasco Granita: Hot ice tops these chilled soups. How’s that possible, you might ask? Why, it’s all due to a hefty dose of Tabasco sauce added to the tomato granita mix. (via Peaches Please)
16. Roasted Yellow Tomato Soup With Green Harissa + Halloumi Croutons: Who could resist digging into this colorful soup? Okay, go ahead and post a pic to Instagram first. (via Bojon Gourmet)
17. Roasted Vanilla Pumpkin and Heirloom Tomato Soup: Winter squash seems like an unusual addition to tomato soup, but it totally works. Especially when accompanied by hand-cut fries. (via The Hungry Babushka)
18. Smoked Tomato Soup: No smokey flavor from smoked paprika or chipotles here. Instead, the tomatoes themselves are popped into an indoor smoker to impart them with an ever-so-interesting flavor in just a few minutes. (via Wild Greens and Sardines)
19. Creamy Heirloom Tomato and Avocado Gazpacho: The green hue may seem a bit strange upon first glance, but just give it a try. Avocado and basil add a lovely enhancement in the texture and flavor departments, creating an incomparable bowl of gazpacho. (via Blogging Over Thyme)
20. White Bean and Tomato Soup: Long winter nights call for some carb loading. This recipe does the trick, combining pasta, bread and starchy beans in one bowl. (via Fork Knife Swoon)
