Request: Tomato Soup Recipe
Archived on 10/26/2009
I would like a simple recipe for tomato (or cream of tomato) soup. It cannot have beef or chicken broth, or any meat or meat-by-product in it. Thanks!

RE: Tomato Soup Recipe
As a long-time vegetarian, I love to cook soups without benefit of any meat products. Lipton Onion soup packets make a great start, water, canned stewed tomatoes (or fresh, if you have), cabbage, sliced thin, onions, carrots .... Place all in a large pot, simmer for an hour and it's just the nicest meal going. I've also got a great gazpacho recipe (my favourite snack). (10/05/2006)

RE: Tomato Soup Recipe
In reference to making homemade Cream Of Tomato soup, here is a saying that will help your tomato soup not to curdle:
"Add Red to White and You Will Never Be Blue".
In other words, heat the tomatoes and milk in separate pans. Add the hot tomatoes to the milk so it will not curdle. Got it? In essence, if you add the hot tomatoes to the hot milk, you won't be sad with the results as it will not curdle.

RE: Tomato Soup Recipe
I'm sorry but I equate Tomato Soup with all childhood illnesses! LOL My mom and grandmother knew of NO other food than this when I was ill. I haven't had more than two cans since I became an adult. I've tried to get over this, but this association is imprinted in my brain, so I avoid any thought of eating Tomato Soup although it MAY have helped to keep me well? This MIGHT not have happened to me had they alternated with TYPES of soups, a good tip for moms!
God bless mothers who nurse their sick children with soups, a proven food to feed them MOST of the time. : ) (10/08/2006)

RE: Tomato Soup Recipe
Tomato soup without milk/cream
- 1 qt. tomatoes crushed or blended (or tomato juice)
- salt and pepper to taste
- pat of butter (optional)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda*
*This takes the acid out and is not really needed unless you add milk/cream.
Bring tomatoes to a boil remove from heat. Add baking soda (use a deep pan as this will foam up). As soon as foam settles, eat up!
For creamy tomato soup, just add milk or cream to the above (after you've done the soda) till the consistency you like. Reheat if needed from the cold milk (10/09/2006)

My mom used to make a Tomato Soup with canned tomatoes, milk and baking soda. I remember something that the milk had to be just the right temp and before she added the tomatoes. Does anyone know how to make it this way?

RE: Tomato Soup Recipe
I make homemade tomato soup with canned tomatoes all the time. I love tomato soup and grilled cheese for a quick lunch. I put my tomatoes into a sauce pan and heat them until they just start to simmer (low boil). I then add a pinch or 2 of baking soda to neutralize the acidity of the tomatoes. It will foam slightly and that tells you it is working. Add milk and heat again to simmer, add salt and pepper maybe a little butter or any other seasonings you prefer. Taste and adjust seasoning and serve hot. Hope you enjoy (12/30/2005)

RE: Tomato Soup Recipe
Back in the "old days" they used to call this soup Tomato bisque. My mom amd grandmom used to make it all the time. It's just milk, tomato soup a dash of soda and canned tomatoes, do not let your milk get to a boil. Just a simmer. Add salt, and pepper to taste. We never really had a recipe for it just eyeball how much you want to make and go from there. WE used one can of tomatoes to two cans tomato soup and two cans milk . (12/31/2005)
