My Grandma’s Cream of Tomato Soup has been my favorite soup ever since I can remember. Creamy tomato goodness in every spoonful!
This is the recipe for My Grandma’s Cream of Tomato Soup. She made it for me every time I saw her. Really. She was an incredible woman and this soup is absolutely delicious. I never puree the soup myself, just because she didn’t, but it is fabulous either way!
It took me forever to be able to make her soup and no matter what I do it never tastes the same way it did when she made it. No matter how hard I try!
I started off trying to make this soup years ago with milk, because she would use milk when she was out of cream, and every time I did the milk would curdle. You are going to laugh but I used to cry. I just wanted to taste some of her soup so badly. Looking back I just missed her and this soup totally reminds me of her.
Finally, I gave up and have been using cream ever since!
