Tomato Soup
I combined two recipes to create my own version of tomato soup. It can be as chunky as you like based on how much you blend it. Even fully blended it will be thicker than a canned soup version. If you prefer a thin version, try adding some vegetable or chicken broth.
I started with these two recipes, and you'll find mine below:
