Serve this soup alongside some Air Fryer Texas Toast, and your life is about to get amazing.
Pro Tips/Recipe Notes:
- The baking soda neutralizes the acidity of the tomatoes without using sugar. It evens out the flavor in a really cool way. I highly recommend trying it!
- This soup freezes like a boss! Freeze in pint wide mouth canning jars for single-servings, and quart jars for family portions. Make sure you leave 1 inch of headspace (space between the top of the food and the top of the jar) to allow for the soup to expand while freezing. Or, try these Souper Cubes for a glass-free option.
- You can pump up the flavor by adding a few tablespoons of homemade tomato powder.
- If you want to use fresh tomatoes, check out this post on how to blanch and peel tomatoes.
- Top each serving with Fried Shallots to take this recipe to the next level.

So delicious!!
So glad you enjoyed it, Katherine. It’s one of my all-time favorite recipes!
Yassss, queen! This soup is a hit in my house. It satisfies my vegetarian husband and my toddler. We like to pair it with pimento grilled cheese.
Gah, that would be a super yummy grilled cheese pairing!!
I had never made tomato soup before..never even thought about it actually but when I saw your recipe and how easy it was I had to try. O..M..GAAAA! IT IS AMAZINGLY GOOD!
My mother in law just made this soup for us with grilled cheese sandwiches. It is by far the best tomato soup I have ever had! So much flavor and a million times better than any canned tomato soup. I will be recommending this to everyone!
So glad you and the fam liked it Amy!
omg, yum!
I made this soup the other day and the whole family LOVED it! The only deviation from the recipe I did was to use the immersion blender in step 3. This soup was really easy and quick to make. I will make this one again. My son topped his bowl with Parmesan cheese.
Awesome Jean, thank you so much for telling me! I love hearing about how people make my recipes. 🙂
I love soup, too, but everyone else in my household is ambivalent! What am I to do? Mostly I just eat soup to my heart’s content.
I’ve been searching for a good tomato soup recipe for the longest time. Everyone I try just isn’t right and my kids don’t understand. I’m hoping that this soup will finally be the one to make them say “Hey, soup’s pretty good! Can I have more?”
Canned whole tomatoes are seriously the most versatile canned good in our house! Soup, spaghetti sauce, and pizza sauce all in a short time! Not to mention everything they’re added to! I love them! I am curious though–what’s up with the baking soda? Is this a secret trick I’ve never heard of?! Intriguing, my friend! 🙂
This is the first year I have canned whole tomatoes, and I am looking forward to using them this winter!
Thanks for asking about the baking soda. I should add a note about it in the post. Baking soda is my favorite secret cooking trick ever. I use it in tomato recipes and when I am making iced tea. Just a pinch neutralizes the acid in lots of foods. Some people add sugar to tomato products, but I don’t like sweetness with my tomatoes. The baking soda makes the taste more palatable without the sweet.
Ah…. good to know.
I add 1 teaspoon of baking soda when making Boston baked beans in my pressure cooker as it’s supposed to help with digestion.
I am pinning this recipe to try later. It’s not cold enough here for soup season yet, but we are getting closer each week. This recipe sounds good.
I have seen people add baking soda to beans, but I never knew why. I know many hummus recipes also recommend you put baking soda in while cooking the chickpeas.
Smoked paprika was sent from God to make us happy!
I completely agree with you. Wholeheartedly!
Smoked paprika might just be the encouragement that I need to try some tomato soup!
Let me know what you think!
