Creamy Tomato Soup – super easy tomato soup recipe you can make in the crock pot or on the stove top. Great for a quick dinner or lunch.
Soup has to be one of the most comforting dinners you can make. It doesn’t matter if it is a broth based soup like Wonton Soup or something creamy like this tomato soup. It is a must as soon as the weather has any chill in the air.
When I was growing up the only tomato soup I had was out of a can, but now that I have made my own, I am not sure I could ever go back. It is so easy, and so much better to make your own.
Creamy tomato soup can be made in the crock pot kept on low or even warm all day long or you can make it on the stove top in less than 30 minutes when you get home from work.

How To Make Creamy Tomato Soup

- Stir in tomatoes, chicken stock, salt, sugar, Italian seasoning and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil.

- Using a stick blender (or a normal blender), blend soup until smooth or your desired consistency.

Can I Make Ahead
Yes, absolutely! This soup freezes really well, so if you want to freeze smaller portions for lunches or dinners on busy nights, it works great. Store the soup in an airtight container in the freezer for 4-5 months. Just remove and heat when ready to serve.
Can I Make Tomato Soup In The Crockpot
Ye, it works great to simmer all day and be ready when you come home from work. If using crock pot: Add all of the ingredients (except cream and cheese) and cook for 4 hours on low, or warm for 8-10 hours. Blend until smooth. Add cream and cheese, and heat for 20 more minutes until everything is warm.
