Tomato soup

Which spices go well with tomato soup?
Spices are a great way to add variety to this dish. Most herbs pair well with the soup and our top list includes basil, thyme, or oregano. Shake it up even more (literally) by experimenting with combinations of chilli, paprika, celery salt, or even cumin. Soon you will discover the perfect mix, your very own secret ingredient!
Does soup get better the longer you cook it?
Generally, yes. The longer your ingredients spend together in the same pot, the deeper your flavours will be. Always keep the temperature to a low simmer (that point where one or two bubbles rise to the surface every few seconds) and be careful of overcooking where your ingredients could turn mushy.

A classic soup that warms from the inside out

Nothing says cosy night in like a warm bowl of soup and this one might just be your best one yet! With its bold tomato-red colour and rich flavours, this bowl is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the tastebuds.

Ideas for tomato soup toppings

You can never go wrong with the classics: crumbled cheese, crunchy croutons, or a dollop of sour cream. Up your game with roasted chickpeas, mini grilled cheese sandwich squares or homemade parmesan crisps.

What to serve with tomato soup

Warm bread straight from the oven is always a perfect companion, especially to soak up those last drops of crimson goodness from your bowl. A side salad with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar is a great alternative with the added benefit of highlighting the soup’s flavour even more.

The best tomatoes to use for tomato soup

Because tomatoes are your star ingredient, pay attention to the ripeness and quality of the fruit (yes, tomatoes are fruits). Plum varieties like Roma or San Marzano are good options, as are smaller varieties like cherry tomatoes if you prefer a sweeter end-result.
