Tomato Soup Recipe

Tomato soup is a soup prepared with tomatoes as the main ingredient. This rich and creamy restaurant style tomato soup is easy to make at home and tastes super delicious.It is also economical and free of any preservatives.This is my family’s favourite soup, so I prepare it frequently. I do not like buying ready made soup packets and always prefer to prepare it at home with fresh ingredients. This is very simple and easy to prepare and also a very common soup. I simply adore this soup for its flavor. A bowl of steaming hot homemade soup topped with cream is one of the most comforting food.
