This soup is perfect for a cozy night in, or as a starter for a dinner party. It’s a must try!
What you need to make this easy creamy tomato soup + substitutions:
- San marzano tomatoes- San Marzano tomatoes are considered by many to be the best tomatoes for making sauces and soups. These tomatoes have a sweet, intense flavor and low acidity.
- Chicken stock- We have been using our homemade chicken stock because it is so delicious and fresh. We LOVE the Kettle & Fire chicken stock (code DADDIOSKITCHEN for 20% off) or we’ll buy a big batch of the Costco organic chicken stock. You could use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
- Heavy cream- Heavy cream adds a rich creaminess to this tomato soup and it’s fabulous. You could substitute with half & half or unsweetened full fat coconut milk.
- Yellow onion- Yellow onion when heated releases a sweet flavor that compliments this soup since we did not add any sugar.
- Garlic- Fresh garlic adds the perfect flavor to any soup base. Garlic powder would work as a substitute.
- Parmesan cheese- We shredded fresh parmesan into the soup and it added to the creaminess and saltiness of the soup base.
- Fresh basil- Fresh basil smells so good! We added a few leaves into the soup before blending and it adds to the sweetness.
- Avocado oil- Whenever we’re cooking with high heat, we always use avocado oil. We buy a giant one from Costco and it’s the best for sautéing. Butter would work great as well.
- Sea salt & pepper- The perfect pair. Our go-to sea salt is from Redmond always. We buy it in bulk from their website. It’s unrefined sea salt meaning that it still contains the beneficial trace minerals! It’s also pure and unprocessed which is the best.
