This 10 Minute Tomato Soup is warm and comforting!
This is a super simple and quick way to make homemade tomato soup. It will be a bit richer and creamier if you choose to use heavy whipping cream instead of half and half. I recommend serving your 10 Minute Tomato Soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. This is the perfect lunch or easy dinner for a gloomy day!
My grilled cheese + tomato soup obsession began when I was little. Just like 95.6% of the other Mom’s in America did, my mother served up Cream of Tomato soup from the red & white can once in a while (you can probably relate if you were a 70’s kid). I loved the stuff by itself, but when served with a grilled cheese sandwich it became extra-special.
My favorite thing was tearing off bits of the sandwich and dropping it into the bowl to be scooped up with spoonfuls of soup. I totally admit to still doing that! Nowadays for lunch I make a grilled cheese with added fresh tomato (I won’t eat the canned stuff anymore), but it’s even better when I can whip up some homemade tomato soup to go along with that grilled cheese.
This super quick (10 minute!!) Tomato Soup comes from The Picky Palate Cookbook. It’s creamy and delicious with some basil and garlic mixed in too. It’s also kid-friendly… get the kids to help you and show them how easy it is to make Tomato Soup! And don’t you dare forget the grilled cheese!

Jenny Flake’s Picky Palate blog has been a daily read for me since she began blogging five years ago. Her simple style and creative way with recipes works for me and my family. I always knew that her cookbook would be great too. I love that Jenny doesn’t use crazy ingredients that are tough to find at the grocery store, and that she keeps preparation simple. The book includes recipes for breakfast, main dishes, side dishes, appetizers and desserts. All of her recipes were created with picky palates in mind.
I’m excited to try the Nutella- Banana- Stuffed French Toast, Maple-Bacon Muffins with Sweet Butter, Skillet-Baked Mac and Cheese, Spanish Rice, Homemade Potato Chips, Smoked Cheddar BBQ Chicken Mac, Garlic- Toasted Spaghetti Pot Pie, Shrimp Linguini in Tomato Cream Sauce, Black Bean Guacamole Burgers, Peanut Butter and Jelly Skillet Monkey Bread, and No-Bake Chewy Cookies and Cream Bars. My 11 year old son has tagged about 80% of the recipes in the book for us to make together. It’s definitely a must-have cookbook for families.
