This hearty tomato soup is a favorite as an easy lunch or dinner. We adapted this recipe from a few that we have enjoyed. Worcestershire sauce gives it some character, and sour cream takes a bit of the bite out of the tomatoes. It can stay hot on the stove and can feed a crowd. When the weather turns cold, we pull this one out because it is so tasty and versatile.
The ingredients also store well. Onions and sour cream are the fresh ingredients involved. Both last for a few weeks, so you can stock up and make the soup as you need it.
If that weren’t enough, the leftovers can be canned and stored for a later time. We usually scale the recipe up. If you want to adjust the recipe below, you can change the servings and the ingredient list updates for you.
Last weekend we made this hearty tomato soup with grilled cheese for a family party at our house.
