Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning however you like. For example, try using other fresh or dried herbs, or any other spices that you like.
  • Add more chili or red pepper flakes to make the soup spicier, or make a mild version by omitting these ingredients.
  • Store any leftover tomato soup in a fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze it for up to 6 months. Reheat it on the stove or in a microwave.
