Original 4B’s Homemade Tomato Soup

Original 4B’s Homemade Tomato Soup combines canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, butter, chopped onion, and a pinch of baking soda simmered together for an hour. Heavy cream is gently heated separately before being stirred in to create a rich, smooth soup with a balance of sweetness and acidity, enhanced by the baking soda which reduces tomato acidity.

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.
