Lmao at Jess saying I ain’t telling you what to do with your salt and pepper I don’t know you like that 😂

[@dystopiankay]

That’s a T-shirt for sure!

[@carimartinez3186]

Yes!! I’d love this as a sticker too!!

[@jasminebaker5702]

That was great. 😅 love it

[@shandramyers6854]

Hey Jess! You'll probably never see this, but discovering Roots and Refuge Farm and then this channel literally changed my life. You sparked such a passion for growing and canning food that I never knew I had! I even dreamt I met you last night and woke up so excited! Lol. 😅. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@The_Farmers_Table]

I love that!!!

[@joyworthen]

So sweet. I discovered Jess a little over 4 years ago - and even though I’m an avid urban gardener but not a proper homesteader- the video that captured my attention was a goat birthing video - I loved her accessible honest telling of the experience- then I found her a resource for large scale garden trellises (and all things food growing) - and - well - I’m still here. I get it. Solidly Team Jess (and family). 🤍

[@diannemiller4754]

I enjoy homemade, garden fresh tomato soup. I even dehydrated some. Yummy thanks for sharing. I'll make some for tomorrow's lunch 😋

[@alanawemple6074]

I had a dream that I met her also.

[@ingakanitz9234]

My favorite non dairy creaminess add in is a can of white beans that gets blended in. Does the job and adds some nutrients as well :)

[@kerryschultz7116]

Some extra protein as well. Nice one!!

[@jac177]

I never knew how good tomato soup could be until I made it fresh from the garden. A favorite for my husband and I. ❤

[@Denise_Thompson]

Oh wow, you and Brenda Gantt both posted a tomato soup recipe at almost the same time this morning. I love a good tomato soup in the cold winter. Now I have 2 delicious and very different variations, both look delicious! ❤

[@evalinawarne1337]

I do not know Denise. Would you please send me the info I love tomato soup. I would add hot sauce for taste. My mom did this to most foods. Didn't make it hot just tasty. Thank you Michigan

[@MarsieInTX]

Yes to the canned coconut cream! I also like to buy the bulk Thai Kitchens canned coconut milk (from Costco) and it's really good too. I put the cans in the fridge to solidify the coconut cream, and then open them from the bottom to pour out the water. I add it to my curry dishes, marinara sauce for cream spaghetti, and soups. I'm allergic to milk, and canned coconut cream is my go-to dairy alternative in recipes. 🖖❤

[@lifegiver9612]

We made this tonight and used sour cream at the table instead of any cream on the stove. Let the dairy free family opt out. Delicious! -Kryn

[@MorePranaGardens]

This is the first time in my life that tomato soup has sounded appealing ... and I love tomatoes! Thank you!

[@NothingWasted57]

I made this for the first time tonight from freeze dried tomatoes I had saved from my summer garden. It turned out so good that even my non-veggie eating son gobbled it up. Thanks for sharing.

[@marygrott8095]

Your recipe is a lot easier than mine, which involves roasting the tomatoes. Not exactly fun in the summer, but I freeze it and when I eat it in the fall and winter, it tastes great. Thanks for a simpler version, Jess!

[@jenniferg4380]

You roast the tomatoes and then freeze them?

[@gelwood99]

@@jenniferg4380 I do.

[@kristydickens1283]

I do the same! I throw some rough chopped onions and peeled whole garlic cloves onto the sheet pan with the tomatoes and roast them all together then freeze. I also add a few spoonfuls of pesto when I make the soup.

[@charlottewillis9252]

Hi Jess, my husband is carnivore and sometimes I don't care for what he is eating like tonight. He was making a hamburger soup and I made your tomato soup. If was delicious! Thanks for the recipe.

[@DanaBarbieri]

I made the bread yesterday! Wow. I served it with a veggie soup at dinner, and the first loaf is gone. My 16 yr old came home from school and said she wanted the bread! This soup looks delicious. I will give it a try for my lunch.

[@leendaroberto]

Great way to use my canned tomatoes. Thank you Jess for this quick and easy recipe. 🍅

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Sweet Jess, your tomato soup looks delicious. I remember when we were kids brand named tomato soup, and grilled cheese was a typical lunch. Now that were OLD, the traditional canned soup, taste is not the same. We prefer freshly made soup from our own tomatoes. I'm with you on the salt 😊. We use more salt from Redmond Real Salt which contain natural minerals, and is better for our body

[@lianahastings431]

My husband had his wisdom teeth out and I made this tomato soup for him. He had two huge bowls and loved it 😍 ❤

[@thenodiggardener]

I don't do creamed Tomato as such, but I do a chunky tomato with paprika, turmeric, and sometimes add cream cheese for that extra creaminess. As for salt- I was brought up with it drilled into me that we should use as little salt as possible. Except that amongst my many qualifications I have crossing nutrition for Humans and Animals, especially in sports science, so I learned how vital it really is. Most especially for me, because I suffer with permanent chronic migraines, and bi-lateral trigeminal neuralgia. If I don't have enough balanced salt in my diet, I'm in excruciating pain. It is amazing how our taste for it can change with our need.

[@gelwood99]

So many young people were raised under the false belief that salt is bad and causes water retention and high blood pressure. Salt is necessary but added or excess sugar in your diet causes the body to retain water. Removing sugar allows your body to act naturally and eliminates excess salt in our urine.

[@karesdesk5078]

I also grew up in a low salt household (but rightfully so as my dad struggles with high blood pressure and so we did it for his safety) Since being diagnosed with POTS I've had to really re-adjust my cooking to include a lot more salt in my diet haha! My cardiologists was like yup, you need to double your salt intake and double your water intake, if I'm not conscious about getting enough salt I definitely feel it!

[@elizabethweeks3571]

I love to see the different variations of this soup. I like to either add 2 table spoons of orange juice or a handful of carrots for the subtle sweetness! Happy soul season❤

[@anniewildmush1284]

in the summer nothing better then a gaspacho!!

[@TalyaT922]

Guuurrrlll! I am loving your new channel! These recipes are giving me life.❤

[@The_Farmers_Table]

That is music to my ears!

[@davidwright8850]

Davids wife) I like mine just like this but without cream.. but I add a little grated carrot for sweetness and it is delicious! Thx you!

[@vahlla78]

Thank you for the non dairy option, I’m lactose intolerant. The canned tomato soup in the stores all have bioengineered food ingredients in them from what I’ve found so I haven’t eaten them in a very long time. This looks like a yummy recipe.

[@alexishodgson7624]

I've been craving tomato soup! Thank you so much Jess. I sure appreciate you!!

[@dianecharles881]

Glad to hear you used the cream in it - looks amazing!!!

[@oldmarriedcouple1]

I'm a gardener, canner and empty nester Momma. I say all that because I haven't canned or made home made tomato soup since the kiddos left our home 15 yrs ago. Wowza! I still can whole tomatoes and sauce if I'm able. I'm going to make your tomato soup tomorrow with my canned tomato sauce. Since it's not a thick sauce I'm going to add some tomato powder I make from the "I can't can anymore tomatoes!" that I put in the freezer and dehydrate in October when I have more time. I know it's gonna be sooo delishious Jess! Thank you for the recipe and the inspiration! Big Hugs P.S. What size pot did you use in the video? Thanks

[@karnaxiom1635]

Glad to see you’re switching things up a bit. Homemade tomato soup is one of those things that people can add all kinds of flavors to. My 8 yr old grandaughter loves to make creamy tomato soup with noodles. That’s how easy it is to make. We add cream to ours.

[@Melody-lc6dt]

for non-dairy you can also do cashew cream. soak about a cup of cashews overnight, drain, rinse, and blend in food processor or blender with water until you get the desired consistency. the acidity of the tomatoes should cut through the cashew flavor just enough to make it less noticeable.

[@barbaramellor5145]

Don’t get me wrong I am hooked on your posts period but not being a Gardner but I am a home cook. I love this program with you are in the kitchen I love watching you fixing a meal. Keep both going. ❣️

[@caseyleichter2309]

I just made a huge batch of chicken soup over the weekend, but this may well be next on the list, as Tomato-soup-with-grilled-cheese-sammie sounds divine now that winter is closing in. PS: You don't. have to be Southern to like food heavily salted. I'm not Southern, but love salt so much I call it one of my major food groups :)

[@The_Farmers_Table]

Hahaha good salt changes everything!

[@sheraeduncan2980]

My friend just gave me 25 pound box of tomatoes. I have 18 pounds in my roasters and the rest I'm readying for roasted tomato soup with roasted garlic and my fresh basil. Yummy

[@dlgrilli]

Yum! Definitely warm and cozy!

[@pamelab.4731]

Looks perfectly delicious. 😋 I make a super simple tomato soup: chunk up tomatoes, onion & garlic. Toss will EVOO, S&P, Spread on rimed baking sheet. Roast. Pour everything into a blender & add basil…and that’s it!!! 🤩

[@Theyorkshiregirlsfarminsc]

Tomato is the only soup I make from scratch. I add carrot for sweetness. The best tomato soup I ever had was in SF at the sustainable cafe in the redwoods. :)

[@helenpenner9899]

This is really enticing me to put 1 tomato plant in my little fenced in rectangle back yard...my bones dont like tomatoes but my dayghter enjoys a good tomato soup ...🎉❤

[@stephaniehanuman-dale6279]

My Italian grandmother used to say “quanto basta” when I’d ask for cooking measurements It means “as much as you need” I think American southerners and Southern Italians have a lot in common 😂

[@sheilaimhof7915]

This looks like amazing alternative to the recipe I have! Definitely gonna have to try making since you made me hungry 😋. Thanks Jess!

[@foragingandurbanfarmingatt4745]

Ahh, the rinsing of the jar and or can! Good to the last drop!

[@Imjetta7]

I’m cooking down about #20 of tomatoes today; now I know what’s for dinner! Thanks!

[@Greens5511]

Man do I LOVE this channel!!! So so helpful!!! Why at my age have I never thought one could make ur own tomato soup is ridiculous!! Ironically I canned tomato soup for the first time and ate it yesterday, delicious

[@vandenberglm]

Perfect timing! I just got my kitchen clean so I can can up my frozen tomatoes into soup!

[@Leisyt123]

Yumm I’m gonna have to make this, love creamy, tomato soup

[@angelasevier6520]

Thank you Lil Girl. Love everything you Do

[@robingirven4570]

Yum! I canned tomato soup for the first time this summer. Even my grands like it.

[@MarlenevT]

I was going to make my mama's tomato soup but after seeing this I am going to maybe blend the 2 recipes together. Good for a snowy day. Thanks Jess

[@user-ns1xs4qs5m]

Jess, I’ve been following roots & refuge some time, I love this new channel. Made this soup today to break in my new cast iron Dutch oven. Thanks for the inspiration 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@TarynCo]

I am so glad I found our channel. I have been taking all the yuck out of my families food! We don't buy processed foods if we can help it. So excited to try this tonight. My husband has been wanting tomato soup for a while now. He will be surprised. I am also going to try your bread recipe. 😀 New Sub here!!

[@christineclark]

I just made a roasted tomato basil soup last night 😋 Todd loves to dip grown up grilled cheese in it (grilled cheese with caramelized onions, bacon and gouda!)

[@BinfordMJ]

What an easy soup to make! Thanks for the recipe.

[@deewinston5651]

Jess, this looks yummy. My daughter just gave me an immersion blender early for my Christmas. Perfect timing. Thank you for sharing.❤️✝️🙏🎄

[@courtneymilburn3102]

Hey Jess! I LOVE that you shared how to make it dairy free. Two of my children and myself are all dairy protein allergic and it is a great help hearing those dairy free suggestions! I got into more cooking from scratch when I became dairy allergic and then when two of my 4 kids were also it just made sense to homestead and cook from scratch to keep as many preservatives out of our food as possible. Now it is my cottage business as well that I call "The Dairy Free Farmer"

[@amanda-sd7zj]

I am so beyond grateful for this channel. ❤❤❤ Currently making this soup and a grilled cheese with your bread recipe!

[@goldcoast2830]

I made tomato soup for the first time in august and have been making it once every 2 weeks since . I usually roast the tomatoes, peppers, onions and garlic. Yes, it's so simple .

[@camicri4263]

We used to make our tomato soup in the summer from tomatoes because we had them fresh and for the most part we would eat it cold! Blessings

[@DJ-ok5ov]

I love this soup. I use a couple bay leaves also, but, take them out before blending. I also use two slices white bread instead of cream. Makes it creamy and its delicious.

[@wendya1250]

Wow that is very interesting I have never heard that before.

[@hazzardoustime1968]

I just used the last of the fresh tomatoes to make soup and grilled cheese also. I Like a recipe for tomato-orange soup from Elephant’s delicatessen. Around 28 ounces tomatoes, 1/2 a stick of butter, salt, pepper, thyme, 1/4 c onion, 1c orange juice, and I use 1/2 c coconut milk in place of the cream. Blend until smooth. Tangy and delicious.

[@pennycricket2294]

I made and canned Roasted Tomato Soup with tomatoes from the garden. So so delicious! I will havevto try spicing it up just a little fir my hubby. He might like that.

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Grilled cheese and tomato soup are a winter go-to! Yummers!

[@LoveGrowLiveFree]

Just saw your shorts on abundance plus KZbin channel I'm liking every one of them and commenting because you're amazing and I love you so much

[@marandaf9744]

I've found in the stores recently that countrycrock started making plant based heavy whipping cream! I haven't tried it in my tom. Soup yet but it's been great in all my other dishes!!!

[@loriliedel9111]

I love your salt and pepper ‘ advice’

[@loriy7532]

Soup is always wonderful in the cold months , if you want to jazz it up a little with some home grown pepper ,it adds a little sweetness too. I love my canned tomatoes just heated up right out of the jar on occasion , with a little butter s & p and a pinch of hot pepper .. it is a small addiction ..lol

[@serobinson1]

Yummmm

[@dorykoszewski3162]

Jess, I just love this new channel. Thank you

[@silvermoon3486]

Love ❤️ this new cooking channel you have created 😊❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁☝️

[@kikiinthegarden]

Jess you are spot on. Us southerners salt our food with our heart and measure seasonings with our eyes and soul 😂

[@triciajones7033]

Love this and love your commentary! So thankful for you!

[@asiajo1010]

I just got done watching a video about starting tomato seeds from your channel from a few years back and this video now is what was on my feed when I got done 🫶🏽 Love a day full of R&R while I do house wife things 😊

[@annmarienoone9879]

I find parsley blended with a little water, made into cubes in an ice cube tray give you a more natural flavor, I blend my basil with olive oil before freezing. I also do celery, it’s so easy to add to a pot of soup. I am not a fan of dried herbs.

[@debbiewood7718]

I agree with the recommendation of coconut milk for a non-dairy option. I always buy coconut milk and give the can a shake in the store. If it doesn't shake it is a thick coconut milk.

[@tammaytapia7269]

I just love this new channel. It has been so inspirational.

[@charlenejutras1595]

I have been a R&R fan for a while, and I really loving this channel! Thanks Jess!

[@rebeccadavis6812]

I'm making this for lunch tomorrow to go with sandwiches. Thank you for the recipe.

[@lorimcmichael5846]

Yum!

[@kellygoodwin1439]

Yum! 😊

[@GrandmaSandy]

Thanks for a wonderful recipe for tomato soup. I’ll have to give it a try and make a little twist for my own. I still have tomatoes on my vines in California so I’ll go out and pick some fresh tomatoes off the vine and make my tomato soup tomorrow. Thanks so much my dear friend for a wonderful video and some great inspiration for tomato soup.

[@tonyastadt9102]

Yummy in my tummy 🤤😋 grilled cheese and tomato soup one of my favorites for the winter time!!❤ Tysm Jess love always from Michigan😊

[@lisatoovey293]

Caution with the coconut milk and cream. Some people are allergic, like peanuts, but don’t know they are until they start consuming high quantities in their diet. Coconut milk and coconut oil seem to be in everything theses days. Thank you for offering a basic recipe anyone can make and adjust to their preferences. 😋 😋 😋 squash soup and carrot soup are also great cold weather meals.

[@cynthiarobert9798]

I love your recipes AND the way you present them! Thank you ☺️

[@silver_threads]

Yummy! I did spend a day this past summer canning tomato soup for the first time...not gonna happen again. This looks like a much better tasting option, and I always have canned tomatoes on hand! Blessings, Marie

[@growjoyfullyhomestead]

Lovely and real!❤

[@susang.6670]

I actually make homemade tomato soup in the summer from our home grown tomatoes and can it. I don't add any dairy until we open it and want a creamed version.

[@terraranch1459]

I just love your new channel. I save every single video. Hugs Jess❤

[@dancnluc1]

I love tomato soup but i have never made my own. I know what i am doing this weekend.

[@kellybishop7385]

I started following for your great gardening videos and now you have food too! Love this! I also make tomato soup. The recipe calls for tofu but I substituted with a few dollops of sour cream for my dairy ingredient.

[@lasalleny]

So glad I found you. (Thank you, Gold Shaw Farm)

[@lalatotheworld1671]

Amazing I’ve only eaten tomato soup in a can, I’m excited to try this

[@MarthaAnderson-jv8ph]

Thank you, Jess❤

[@redbootsandpearls331]

I make almost the exact same recipe except for instead of butter at the first I use bacon and sauté the onions/garlic in the grease. I also will freeze the extra soup in single serving sizes so I have a quick lunch when it’s cold

[@survivor4041]

thanks Jess!! You certainly make this easy for me to replicate.

[@livmegargle5420]

I’ve made tomato soup a lot of times but I’ve never thought of using canned tomato’s rather than fresh ones. I guess that’s probably because I’ve never canned tomato’s! I do buy them though so this is a great idea.

[@GrandmaSandy]

Thanks so much for another great soup recipe and sharing what you can put together for very little money and still taste wonderful getting out there picking those last few tomatoes off the tomato plants from our garden. A wonderful inspirational video. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

[@MsTexan1]

Lol, my Azure Cuttoff is today. Just added tomatoes and coconut cream. Can't wait to try this!

[@cynthialewis7080]

Yum

[@scofieldfarm]

I will definitely try this! Sounds delicious!!

[@SteFloofer]

Just made this for a cozy dinner! So good Jess!!!!!!!!

[@kath-phlox]

I've been making soup too, minestrone, pea and ham, also mushroom, cream added to some soup makes it really lovely. I wont be make tomato this winter as I used up all my frozen tomatoes on other things.

[@The_Farmers_Table]

Pea and ham soup sounds so lovely. I have to do that soon!

[@danakenoyer106]

Yummy, definitely gonna try this recipe this week.

[@myaccount6208]

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.😊

[@Leisyt123]

agree what my mom thinks is too much salt is perfect for me and what i think is too salty is perfect for my dad, so it depends on the person

[@WickedAwesomeGardening]

I am so excited to make this!

[@katherinebelk8398]

I have done your roasted tomato version and it's my go to!

[@robinschmersahl8641]

Looks so yummy. I'm also from the south and I agree with the salt and pepper!
