Onion, tomatoes, garlic and butter are all you need to make Easy Homemade Tomato Soup. It’s a thick and delicious soup that comes together in under an hour.
EASY HOMEMADE TOMATO SOUP
Talk about easy! This may be the easiest, and tastiest tomato soup you’ll ever make. The ingredients are simple and I pared them down to only what, in my opinion, are the bare necessities to make it delicious.
That’s my favorite way to cook, and keep the little sanity I have left. My motto – only use the ingredients you really need to make the food taste good! Oh… and butter makes everything better! If I tell the guys that I added butter or (cough) alcohol, they’re on board.
