Robust Tomato Soup. In the fall and winter months, I just have to make soup. And this robust tomato soup is a super flavorful, family favorite. Robust Tomato SoupThis soup: comforting and creamy, welcoming and warm. I make it  a lot on cold winter evenings or Sunday lunchtimes after church. Served with a simple salad and some bread, it’s a perfect winter meal. (If you’re looking for the simplest, most delicious bread, try this bucket bread recipe.)

Most of the ingredients for this recipe are just simple pantry items. But two decadent ingredients make it so extra delicious: heavy cream and red cooking wine. Be sure not to skip these; they really do make it so wonderful. The depth of flavor with blow you away!

Robust Tomato Soup
Author: 
Recipe type: soup, dinner, supper
Cuisine: American
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 8 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 1 medium onion, diced (dried minced onion or onion powder also work well)
  • 4 T butter
  • (2) 14.5 ounce cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 46 ounce can tomato juice
  • 3 T sugar (stevia also works well)
  • 2 T chicken bouillon
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 C red cooking wine
  • 1½ C heavy cream
  • 2 T chopped flat-leaf parsley (dried works well)
Instructions
  1. Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven, over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the tomatoes, tomato juice, sugar, chicken bouillon, and fresh ground pepper (to taste).
  4. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup almost to a boil. Then turn heat off.
  5. Add the red cooking wine and heavy cream and stir to combine.
  6. (At this point, I blend everything together using my immersion blender. A regular blender could also be used- just be SUPER careful ladling it in. Skip this step if you're family doesn't mind onion and tomato chunks like mine does.)
  7. Sprinkle with a little parsley and a little more black pepper (if desired) to serve.

    Oh man, it’s hard to say. There’s some kitchen goodies I’d really like. We’re also in desperate need of some good chairs, so I’d definitely get at least a couple nice, quality computer chairs. I might also get a laptop or tablet of some sort, depending on what’s left after those things.

  16. Wehaf says

    I would get a new living room rug and upgrade my pajamas. I’d also look into a new camera for me and a new laptop for my mom.

    We are moving and my husband has gotten rid of most of our furniture! So this would be so wonderful – we need so many things 😉

    What would I do with $700 from Amazon? Oh my God, I would be in heaven!!!! I would get everything!! I would likely try to save it for Christmas 2016 but that would be difficult. I know I would get my Mom something really special for Mother’s Day!

    I would get an i-pad for myself, and my daughter. She could really use it for classes. And, I could really use it for fun. 🙂

  73. Melissa J says

    With $700 I’d buy a new laptop. Mine is 6 years old and on it’s way out and I need to use my actual money to buy a new car since mine got totaled. Wooo.

  74. Pam P. says

    Thanks for the terrific giveaway! If I won, I’d start by getting a new blender! The one my hubby and I have now sounds like an angry monster. Fingers crossed. 🙂

    I would purchase parts to fix mine and my Mom’s PC’s, and get toys & important items to help take care of the numerous stray cats I’ve rescued. (BTW, thanks for the opportunity!)

  77. Sandra Gray says

    Wow $700 feels like a million dollars! I don’t even know where I would begin but it would probably be in the grocery section. I really want some coconut oil and some nice organic spices. I could also use some nice grains such as amaranth, teff and quinoa. Some good organic oat bran would be awesome. And something thoroughly unhealthy like kettle chips. I would have to look through the electronics and find something to splurge on. My mom wants a computer so maybe a Chromebook.
