Recipe Tips
After the tomato soup is cooked you have two options for serving. You can serve as is or let the vegetable cool and blend into a puree with the rest of the ingredients. Either way, the soup will taste amazing. One has a chunkier consistency and the other is a very smooth puree. You can serve as is, sprinkle with parsley and/or basil. You can serve over pasta (elbows work great) or with bread. Enjoy!
