Is there anything more comforting than a warm bowl of soup on a chilly day? This Chunky Tomato Soup recipe is a delightful fusion of Mediterranean and American flavors, perfect for lunch, dinner, or a cozy weekend treat. We’ve taken the classic tomato soup and elevated it with fresh ingredients and a touch of spice, resulting in a hearty and flavorful dish the whole family will love.
This isn’t your average smooth tomato soup. We intentionally leave the tomatoes chunky for a more satisfying texture. The combination of sweet tomatoes, savory onions and garlic, and a hint of dill and paprika creates a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Plus, it’s surprisingly easy to make!
What makes this Chunky Tomato Soup special?
- Flavor Fusion: The blend of Mediterranean and American influences creates a unique and delicious flavor profile.
- Chunky Texture: We love the heartiness of a chunky soup – it feels more substantial and satisfying.
- Easy to Customize: Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat, or experiment with different herbs.
- Versatile: Perfect as a starter, a light lunch, or a comforting dinner.
Tips for the Best Chunky Tomato Soup:
- Tomato Quality: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Roma or plum tomatoes are excellent choices.
- Baking the Tomatoes: Baking the tomatoes intensifies their sweetness and adds depth of flavor.
- Don’t Over-Blend: We want a chunky soup, so be careful not to over-blend. A few pulses with an immersion blender is all you need.
- Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free version, use vanilla almond milk when adding the baking soda.
