Simple Tomato Soup

This is one of the simple tomato and the tastiest tomato soups you have ever tasted. You'll fall in love with this amazing soup right away. In every bite, the rich taste of tomato can be savored. This is best to serve as such, or with a sandwich, or the with grilled cheese for the best meal.

Blanching the tomatoes helps in having a smooth soup. The recipe is very simple. The soup can be refrigerated

and used. Leftovers are great for next day. We love tomato based soups and this is all time favorite. If you love tomato soup, then you would definitely love the Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup I made with my homegrown tomatoes.

This is my post for #SoupSaturdaySwappers. Camilla is hosting this month's event and we have a theme as "Dad's Favorite Soup". Soup is always comforting and this is a perfect theme for this month. 

I am also linking this to Wonderful Wednesday and Souper Sunday. Deb of Kahakai Kitchen is hosting the Souper Sundays.. Check her page if you would like to participate in Souper Sundays.
