Thick soup vs soup?
Do you know the difference between thick soup and soup?
Traditionally, thick soups are made from shellfish bases, such as oysters or lobsters. In more modern times, the use of heavy cream is usually the difference between thick soup and soup. So modern soup is really creamy tomato soup. But the thick soup sounds more beautiful, right? (Note: If you are allergic to shellfish, I suggest you always ask what type of soup is served.)
Today’s tomato soup is similar to our tomato and basil soup, but it’s a bit thicker and has less basil flavor. But trust us-it’s just as good. We especially like to make and serve this thick soup with grilled cheese! !
How to make tomato puree
The soup must be puree, this is the hardest part, but otherwise it’s simple.
In a medium saucepan, sauté garlic in butter for about 1 minute. From there you will add the flour until combined, then gradually pour in the chicken broth. Add tomatoes, chili powder, garlic salt and basil, and stir well. Bring to a boil and cook until thick (about 2 minutes).
Here, you need to mix and puree the soup until it reaches the consistency you want. This will be done in batches, adding heavy cream at the end.
Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with cream and fresh basil.
Use fresh tomatoes to make tomato soup
We took the simple route and used a can of crushed tomatoes. If you want to use fresh tomatoes, please use the following instructions:
Prepare fresh tomatoes:
- Choose ripe and delicious tomatoes
- Peel the tomatoes: For convenience, put the tomatoes in boiling water for 1 minute. Then transfer them to a bowl of ice water. The skin will peel off immediately.

- Follow the instructions to use in the recipe.
For roasted tomatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds
- Mix in a little olive oil and salt-just enough to coat each tomato
- Place the tomatoes in a single layer on the pan
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until the skin softens and starts to crack.The size of the tomatoes affects the cooking time
- Once they have cooled a bit, peel off the skin and use them in the recipe as directed.
