There’s nothing like a warm, comforting bowl of fire-roasted tomato soup. The smoky depth from the fire-roasted tomatoes adds a rich, bold flavor that takes this classic soup to the next level. It’s easy to make with simple ingredients, perfect for a cozy dinner or a light lunch.
I like to put this on in the morning and let it slow cook on the stove all day. Makes the house smell awesome and adds a lot of flavor!
Pair it with a crispy grilled cheese, and you’ve got the ultimate comfort food combo.
Tips for the Best Fire-Roasted Tomato Soup:
- Use high-quality canned fire-roasted tomatoes for the best flavor.
- Add a splash of cream or coconut milk for a creamy texture.
- Fresh basil or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese makes a great garnish.
- For a smoky kick, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce.
- Blend the soup with an immersion blender for a silky-smooth consistency. I like to leave some of the tomatoes and blend the rest!
