What is more comforting on a cold windy day than a nice warm bowl of soup? This tomato soup will certainly warm your tummy and satisfy your comfort food craving. It will serve a family of 10, or for the single person or smaller family, you can divide into individual servings to freeze for when you are under the weather or just don’t have as much time to cook. This not only saves you money but also keeps you from eating out when you are in a pinch. If you don’t wish to do this then you can certainly cut the recipe to your desired serving wishes.

A Little History
The first recorded tomato soup recipe was printed by Eliza Leslie in 1857. This was her last publication in New Cookery Book. It can be served hot or cold. Cold tomato soup is called Gazpacho, which came from Southern Spain.
