Hearty Tomato Soup – Your childhood favourite, made better

Is there any type of vegetable soup more iconic than that bright red bowl of nostalgia that is tomato soup? If you weren’t sick and having chicken soup, tomato soup with toasted cheese was the way to go. Our Hearty Tomato Soup will get you remembering all those happy memories on cold winter days enjoying a bowl of soup with your family.

You’ll be making this Hearty Tomato Soup in a very unorthodox way but it will be worth every moment. Roasting your tomatoes with garlic will give them that delicious deep roasted flavour which turns this soup into something special. The rest of the process is even easier when you blend it all together with basil, onion, parmasan, salt and pepper. Each serving is 143 calories. If you do feel the urge to go fully old-school, you’re more than welcome to add your favourite toasted cheese sandwiches.

It’s a bowl of happy memories and lots of flavour. The Hearty Tomato Soup is the perfect meal for a cold day at home with the family.
