Best Quick Blender Tomato Soup

This recipe came about one day when my son asked for tomato soup and we didn't have any canned varieties on hand. Plus, my amazing husband bought me a Vitamix blender for Christmas (gotta love Black Friday deals!). Now, you don't need a heavy duty blender to make this soup, since tomatoes are easy to blend even in the cheapest blender on the market. The only difference will be that you will need to warm the soup after blending it (the more robust blenders actually heat the soup when left on high speed for a few minutes). Not really a big deal! The end result is still super yummy tomato soup, better than Campbell's, in just minutes.

This recipe uses canned soup, but I fully intend on using garden fresh tomatoes this summer. If you use fresh tomatoes, let me know how it turns out in the comments! You would use just under 2 cups of fresh tomatoes. I used regular old cows milk for the soup, but I believe any unflavored, unsweetened plant based milk would also work.

You'll notice in the pictures, there are air bubbles in the soup because it's essentially whipped, this makes the soup taste even better. Trust me. Try it.

I don't bother buying cans of tomato soup anymore, this is super quick and tastes a lot better. Kid approved too.
