Original 4B’s Homemade Tomato Soup
Description
This tomato soup uses canned diced tomatoes merged with chicken broth, butter, onion, and a small amount of baking soda to mellow the acidity. The mixture simmers gently for an hour to meld the flavors and soften the onion.
Separately, heavy cream is warmed carefully over low heat to avoid scorching, then added to the soup to create a creamy texture and richer mouthfeel. This results in a smooth, velvety soup with a balanced sweet and savory profile.
The soup is suitable for serving as a comforting starter or light meal and pairs well with bread or crackers.

- 29 ounces diced tomatoes canned
- 10.5 ounces chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter

- In a large stockpot mix tomatoes, chicken broth, margarine, onion, and baking soda. Simmer for 1 hour. In a separate pot, heat cream over low heat until hot, watching carefully so that the cream does not scorch. Once heated through add to tomato soup and serve.
