- 2 cans (28 oz) canned tomatoes
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 tsp sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tblsp butter
- 2 tblsp flour
- 1 cup heavy or whipping cream (to taste - (or more to taste))
- 1 cup macaroni noodles (cooked - or more to taste)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Instruction
- Get out all of your ingredients and get them measured. You are going to be making the Best Cream of Tomato Soup!
- Combine tomatoes, onion, sugar, salt, pepper and paprika in medium sized saucepan over medium heat.
- Simmer gently for around 7 minutes.
- Cook noodles, if using, according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a another large saucepan melt butter. Add flour, salt and pepper.
- Let bubble over low heat for about three minutes.
- Slowly add cream or milk. Cook and stir with a whisk until smooth and thick.
- Add to hot tomato mixture. Stir and heat to almost boiling.
- At this point you can puree the soup in small batches with a stand mixer or use an emulsion blender if you want. I never do because my grandmother never did. My friend always does when she makes this terrific soup! The decision is up to you!
- Add cooked macaroni noodles or other vegetables if desired. Add some cheese (parmesan or cheddar), some crackers or croutons! Maybe make yourself a grilled cheese sandwich! I can't be the only one who enjoyed both as a child. Can I?
- Serve and enjoy!
