Jamie Oliver Tomato Soup recipe
My recipe is based on this original recipe from Jamie Oliver but with a few little tweaks and changes. It’s such a beautifully fresh and healthy soup… full of carrots, celery and of course, tomatoes!
And did I mention that it’s less than 150 calories per serve which is AWESOME if you’re watching what you’re eating (although it is hard to go past a butter slathered piece of toast or bread roll on the side!).
Making tomato soup using tinned or canned tomatoes
The thing that makes this soup soooo simple is that you can use tinned or canned tomatoes. Yay! In this recipe, I’ve used a combination of tinned and fresh tomatoes, but you can absolutely use all tinned tomatoes if you prefer.
Tinned tomatoes makes this recipe such a budget-friendly one… it will literally only cost you a couple of dollars to make an entire batch that serves 6 people.
What do you serve with tomato soup?
This soup tastes AMAZING all on it’s own, but I recommend serving it with the following:
- salt and pepper, to season
- fresh basil leaves
- buttered toast or a crusty bread roll on the side (to wipe up all those delicious bits of soup!)
Sometimes I’ll also add a dash of cream or sour cream, or even some parmesan cheese. YUM!
