Is there anything better than a warm bowl of tomato soup on a chilly day? This Parmesan tomato soup recipe uses canned tomatoes and a few other pantry staples so you can have a fresh bowl of tomato soup in no time. I love the salty Parmesan in this recipe and it’s delicious served with a slice of crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich!
Description
This Parmesan tomato soup uses just a few ingredients to create a delicious comfort food classic!
Ingredients
- 2 15 oz cans of diced tomatoes
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 medium white onion, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Handful chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- Combine everything except the Parmesan cheese and basil into a large pot and bring to a boil.
- Turn the heat down a bit and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Transfer into a blender or food processor and puree until it’s thick, but not chunky.
- Add in the grated Parmesan cheese, and let it cook on low for about 10 minutes.
- Garnish with basil when serving.
This makes a pretty incredible lunch, especially with a grilled cheese!
We had ours with a smoked gouda grilled cheese and it was perfect!
It was a little rainy and dreary in Richmond on Monday so this combo totally hit the spot. (And hey, it just so happened to be on the meal plan!) While the tomatoes for the soup weren’t technically fresh from the garden, they really did make delicious soup. I’ll be keeping these on hand, especially when tomatoes are out of season. It’s always nice to have options.
We’ve got a fairly busy weekend planned, but I’m hoping to squeeze in a trip to the Farmer’s Market to stock up on some more amazingly fresh veggies.

Yum! This makes me happy! I heart homemade soups so hard! 🙂 I just threw leftover roasted veggies in a pot with veggie broth, black beans and some spice love. Immersion blender and dinner is done. Can’t wait to grab some tomatoes from the garden and try this one next. Thanks! 🙂

Love the tomato soup recipe. Thank you! I’ve had fresh veggies recently that were from my friends Tower Garden. They’re homegrown year round in WA State. She can grow 20 fruits & veggies at once with no soil! I am a rep for Tower Garden & my personal Tower just arrived! I can’t wait to have my own fresh produce growing on my balcony!!You might be interested in growing your own since you love fruits & veggies so much! There’s peace of mind knowing they are truly organic, no GMO, pesticides/herbicides! So much cheaper then buying organic too! It’s an investment but pays for itself over & over! Here’s my web if you’d like to check out the Tower Garden & fruit & veggie whole food supplements 😉

I love a nice bowl of tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. I will have to try your recipe out because I usually take the lazy way out. And when you take the lazy way out it is a crap shoot if you are going to get a good soup or a nasty soup. thanks for the post.

Haha I hope you enjoy it!

One of my favourite foods growing up was tomato soup with grilled cheese! This sounds divine! My Mom just canned a bunch of tomatoes and gave some to me and they would be perfect for this recipe!!! I absolutely love summer but I can’t wait for fall so I can eat soup like it’s my job 😉 Have a great weekend!!!

Is it bad that warm foods are one of my favorite things about winter? 😉
