Tomato Soup
Tomatoes simmered with vegetable stock and finished with heavy cream and butter, a smooth soup often paired with a grilled cheese sandwich.
Where it comes from
Canned tomatoes made this soup possible year-round, once canning let households keep tomatoes on hand through winter instead of only at harvest.
What cooks argue about
The fight is over straining the soup after blending for a fully smooth texture, or leaving it unstrained, which keeps some skin and seed texture but takes less time.
Versions
Nobody has published a tomato soup here yet. When somebody cooks one from a video and publishes it, their version appears in this list, with a link back to the original.
