I made this simple tomato soup tonight in about three minutes, it was amazingly easy! This soup doesn’t need any thickeners at all so it’s naturally gluten free and low carb.
Tips for making Tomato Soup
- Dressing up this soup for guests is easy – just add toppings! Some chopped basil, homemade croutons and parmesan cheese would do nicely.
- Add fresh chopped herbs to the soup itself at the end of cooking if you like.
- Serve this soup with homemade crackers.
