1 cup (medium) of Creamy Tomato Soup (240 g) has 132 calories. That works out to 55 calories per 100 g. It contains 18 g of carbs, 3.1 g of protein, 5.3 g of fat and 2.9 g of fiber. Its 21.6 mg of Vitamin C covers 24% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 50 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Creamy Tomato Soup is made by cooking tomatoes, often with onion and stock, then blending them until smooth and enriching the mixture with cream. It is a familiar variation of tomato soup found in many kitchens, rather than a dish tied to just one place.
Serve it hot as a starter or a simple lunch, with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich; a swirl of cream and fresh herbs are common finishing touches. Its mellow, slightly tangy tomato flavour and velvety texture make it comforting without being especially heavy. Tomatoes contribute some fibre and vitamin C, while the cream adds richness and fat. For a lighter bowl, use less cream and let ripe tomatoes provide most of the flavour.

To make Creamy Tomato Soup, cook onion and tomatoes in a little oil, add stock, and simmer until the tomatoes soften. Blend until smooth, then stir in cream over low heat without letting the soup boil.
Grilled cheese is a classic pairing for Creamy Tomato Soup, while crusty bread or croutons are easy options. For a lighter meal, serve it with a green salad or a simple cheese sandwich.
Yes, but the cream may separate after freezing and thawing. For a smoother result, freeze Creamy Tomato Soup before adding the cream, then stir the cream in after thawing and reheating.
Creamy Tomato Soup usually keeps for up to three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool it promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until steaming hot.
To make Creamy Tomato Soup less acidic, stir in a little more cream or cook it with a carrot, which adds mild sweetness. A small pinch of sugar can also balance the sharpness; add it gradually and taste.
Creamy Tomato Soup can curdle when cold cream meets very hot, acidic tomato soup or when the soup boils after the cream is added. Lower the heat, temper the cream with a little hot soup, then stir it in slowly.
Yes, canned tomatoes work well in Creamy Tomato Soup, especially when fresh tomatoes are out of season. They are already soft, so simmer them with the onion and stock, then blend and adjust the seasoning before adding cream.
You can thicken Creamy Tomato Soup without flour by simmering it uncovered to reduce excess liquid, or by blending in more cooked tomatoes and onion. Blend thoroughly for a smooth texture before stirring in the cream.
Creamy Tomato Soup is a broad name for tomato soup finished with cream, while tomato bisque usually refers to a particularly smooth, rich, cream-based soup. The terms overlap, and recipes vary rather than following one strict definition.
Yes, milk can replace cream in Creamy Tomato Soup, but the result will be thinner and less rich. Warm the milk first, stir it in over low heat, and avoid boiling the soup to reduce the chance of curdling.
