There’s been a complete lack of workouts over here this week. Needless to say, I have nothing to report – save for 60-minutes of lower body on Sunday and a 1-mile walk on Tuesday. Instead of talking about workouts I’ll talk about food some more. I have a new homemade tomato soup recipe to share.

Tuesday I realized I had not had any veggies all day. As of late I had been eating salads for lunch, and frankly I am all salad-out at the moment. I’ll blame a lack of tasty toppings.

So I opened the cupboard to find one leftover can of diced tomatoes. This had been a cooking staple for me back when it as cold out. Summertime – not so much!

I added some fresh basil to the pot, courtesy my veggie/herb garden. Regardless I decided to make a quick pot of homemade tomato soup so I could get some vegetables in my body.

I topped it with some Parmesan cheese and had a slice of multi-grain bread on the side for dipping.

I confess, I added even more Parmesan cheese after I took the photo! The soup tasted great, but boy, was I hot afterward. Burning up!

In Summary

This homemade tomato soup is a favorite at our house. I make it so much I often don’t even measure the ingredients and it still comes out great! We enjoy it most often with grilled cheese sandwiches.

You can also enjoy it with crackers or garlic bread dipped in the soup would also be nice. I like that this soup is quick and easy to make.

It’s also healthy and doesn’t contain all those preservatives most soups contain and it’s also pretty filling and hearty. I tend to make this soup more in the winter, but it can also be enjoyed in the summer if desired.

Do you eat soup in the summer?

    The soup looks tasty! I love french onion soup, but its just too salty for warm weather. We usually make a big crock pot of soup on fall days.

    Sometimes I eat soup during the summer. But I usually love fattening stuff like baked potato soup. * belly rub! *

      LOL! I should confess I did have a cup of cream of chicken soup (from the work cafeteria) earlier this summer. Belly rub on that one too!

    Yum! I like soups year-round, but in the summertime I prefer cold soups, like chilled pea or gazpacho!

    I’m a big fan of soup no matter the season. It’s just too easy and, depending on the soup, filling to leave just for winter. However, I do prefer lighter soups – with lots of fresh veggies – in the summer.

    I hate to discriminate between the times of the year – I eat them all at all times during the year. I’m less likely to make homemade soup, though, in the summer.

        Oh, btw that’s a tortilla soup recipe from runnesr world that’s become one of my favorite cold soups lately. But yeah, any kind of ‘spicy’ soup I think tastes good cold. Creamy soups like cream of mushroom or something are gross cause they get all gelatin like… but thin brothed ones are good 😀
