Feeling Homesick? Try This Homemade Tomato Soup Recipe

• Written and photographed by Bridgett Hernandez https://thenakedforeigner.com

Cheese toasties and tomato soup are the ultimate comfort food on chilly, drizzly days: gooey melted cheese between two slices of toasted bread dipped in a bowl of bright, tangy tomato soup. It’s a delicious cure for the winter blues. But alas! The iconic Campbell’s Tomato Soup (or any other brand for that matter) is hard to find in Daegu. I was so homesick for tomato soup, I decided to do a little poking around on the web to figure out how to make it myself. The results? Success! I will never go back to buying canned tomato soup again; it tastes like ketchup compared to this flavorful and creamy homemade recipe! This recipe was inspired by Jamie Oliver’s Tomato Soup Recipe and Classic Tomato Soup Recipe on Chowhound. It’s a simple recipe, but it takes a bit of time. I promise it’s worth the wait!
