Leftovers/storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Since this is a creamy soup, it may thicken slightly as it sits, so when reheating just add a splash of broth or milk and give it a stir to bring it back to a smooth consistency. It reheats really well and still tastes just as good.
Frequently asked questions
Why add sugar to tomato soup?
It might seem small, but the sugar helps balance out the acidity from the tomatoes and makes the flavor smoother. You do not taste it as sweet, it just makes everything taste better.
Can I make this even creamier?
Yes, you can add a little extra cream or butter at the end if you want it richer. It makes a noticeable difference in the texture.
Can I blend this soup?
Yes, if you want it completely smooth you can blend it, but it is already pretty smooth as is.
