This tangy yet creamy homemade tomato soup, is super easy to make and requires items that you likely have sitting in your cupboards. To keep things simple, I used canned tomatoes, but you can use fresh tomatoes as well; just peel the skins off before hand. You could also easily turn this into a smoky tomato and peppers soup by adding some smoked bell peppers to the mix. We enjoy this will a grilled cheese sandwich on the side, and it is delicious. With a dollop of sour cream added and some shredded cheese, this soup has a comforting taste but is also refreshing and light. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
