Pareve

Tomato soup is a timeless classic that warms the heart and soul, originating from the kitchens of Europe and now beloved worldwide. This kosher version ensures that everyone can enjoy its comforting flavors without worrying about dietary restrictions. Whether you’re serving it as a starter to a festive meal or enjoying it as a light lunch on a chilly day, this tomato soup is a bowl of pure joy. With its rich, velvety texture and vibrant color, it’s not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes. Perfect for any occasion, this soup is sure to become a staple in your recipe collection.

Tips

Cook the onion slowly until soft and sweet before adding the tomatoes. Taste the soup before adding all the sugar, since some canned tomatoes are sweeter than others, and blend it completely smooth for a velvety texture. A splash of olive oil and fresh basil on top finishes it well.

Kosher Notes

This tomato soup is pareve, so it can be served with a meat or a dairy meal. Use canned tomatoes and vegetable broth with a reliable hechsher. For a dairy meal, serve it with a grilled cheese sandwich or stir in a little cream.

Storage

The soup keeps in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and freezes well for 3 months. Reheat it gently and add a little water if it has thickened.
