Vitamix Tomato Soup
This easy homemade Vitamix tomato soup gets made right in the blender! It's light and silky yet creamy and bright, with a flavor that's as sophisticated as it is nostalgic. The soup comes together in minutes and and it can be made year-round.
Tomato soup has always had a special place in my heart. I can't count the number of Campbells cans that I slurped up as a kid, usually alongside a box of club crackers or a grilled cheese. Was it a marketing campaign that linked tomato soup to dreary days? If so, it worked.
As soon as the weather starts to chill and darken, tomato soup is what I crave. But I no longer enjoy the metallic and faded taste of canned soup. Luckily this from-scratch, easy Vitamix tomato soup is nearly as easy to make, has a bright, fresh flavor, and retains all of the warm fuzziness of my childhood memories.
