Hard To Beat Tomato Soup // Step by Step ❤️

This Tomato Soup is so delicious, and so easy to prepare, it is a favorite in our house because not only is it packed with flavor, but it’s also nutritious. I think that the addition of sweet potato, basil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese along with a golden roux will take this soup to the top of the list of favorites. I always have homemade canned tomatoes, so it’s a soup that never fails in my house, and it is so good when sided with a grilled cheese sandwich or easy cheesy homemade croutons. If you have leftovers you can freeze it in a tightly sealed freezer container for up to 3 months. I hope you give it a try.❤️

I have been looking for a homemade tomato soup recipe and this is perfect. I have a story about using an immersion blender, I was making cream of broccoli soup and wasn't paying attention and blasted cream of broccoli soup all over the stove and back splash. My stove got a thorough cleaning and the soup was delicious. Lol. Thanks for sharing your recipes Rachel. 🙂❤️

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Lol! The exact thing happened to me my friend, so now I hold on to it very carefully 😂 I really appreciate your comment, thank you. ❤

I love watching your channel. I said this before but I'm saying it again, You were made for this! You are informative, obviously a great cook and very personable.

I will be trying your recipes now that you gave some good info. and how to make things the RIGHT way. I will keep watching. To let you know most is budget friendly. i also like the WHY's you put in. You explain things clearly. THANKS so much for your videos..I'll keep watching.....

This looks absolutely delicious Rachel. Appreciate you sharing with us

[@rachelcookswithlove]

My pleasure 😊 I hope you give it a try.❤️

[@amarievargas80]

EDIT: I just giggled cause I paused the into to text the paragraph below. As I resume the video after my comment you say how "youll always have the amounts listed below by clicking more" haha I love it! Just in time for what I was craving! Thanks Rachel. Ive tried many of your recipes and they always hit thr spot. Can I ask for a favor, as your channel grows can you always keep your ingredients listed under the videos where you click "more"? 🙏 Im a chef and I like the fact that I always can count on getting a real quick idea of the recipe by being able to check out the ingredients as the intro plays. A lot of other YT's stop doing that and make you click a link and its just frustrating. Thank you for being easy to use, quality recipes 🎉❤

[@LaWana1940]

Rachel I enjoy your recipes so much. I must try making your tomato soup. It looks absolutely scrumptious! I really like the way you take your time to explain each step of your recipes. Anyone can tell, you are a real home maker and I can tell you enjoy your time in the kitchen. I too love to cook! It's so nice to meet someone else who reminds me of myself. Thanks so much for all your recipes! You are a jewel!

[@eddiewilson8119]
