Notes
- You really need to check out the list of what to serve with tomato soup that we created for you. It's full of ideas that you can impress your friends and family with.
- Another mouth-watering list of sides to go with a hearty soup such as this one can be found in that link. Check it out...because, as my Grandma used to say, you can never have too many options!
- To finish off your soup meal try our most delicious wonton crisps recipe. They take an average meal and turn it into something mind blowing!
- For a healthier version, use low-fat sour cream or low-fat Greek yogurt instead of the full-fat variety. Dice onions and peppers into small pieces for even cooking. Save time by using a pre-cooked rotisserie or leftover chicken instead of having to cook it fresh yourself. Instead of using canned tomatoes, try roasting fresh tomatoes in advance for added depth of flavor. If you don't have time to sauté all of the vegetables you want to include beforehand, simply add them directly into the pot with the tomatoes and broth and let simmer until tender.
