If you want a soup that is quite close to some top brands soups, then this is the one for you.
It’s a really easy way to make tomato soup without the fiddly steaming and peeling of tomatoes, or having to do extra work by straining the soup through a muslin cloth.
You could substitute fresh tomatoes for the tinned ones, and not lose any flavour or taste with the recipe. Make it how it suits you.
We add cream at the serving stage, which makes it a much more creamy soup. It is a thick soup, so if you like your soups watery, this isn’t for you.
Creamy Tomato Soup (Passata Recipe)
Author: Lesley Smith
Cuisine: Soup
Recipe type: Soup Maker
Serves: 4 - 6 Bowls
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Ingredients
- 1 Litre Tomato Passata
- 2 Teaspoons Sugar
- 400g Tin Plum Tomatoes
- 2 Vegetable Stock Cubes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato Puree
- OPTIONAL
- 200ml Whole Milk
Method
- Add all the ingredients into your soup maker. If you plan to freeze some soup, leave the milk out of the batch, and add it in proportion when you reheat the soup to serve. Freezing soup with cream or milk in it, will cause it to separate or curdle on reheating.
- You will look for the smooth setting for this soup, as you want it as pureed as possible. If it isn't smooth enough for your taste, simply choose the smoothie setting on your soup maker if you have one, or use a stick blender to smooth it even more.
- Serve Immediately, with Croutons, or Why Not Try a Scone, For Something Different.
- Do not overfill your soup maker.

Sue says
I saute some chopped onion in olive oil and add some garlic puree before adding the rest of the ingredients.
Martin says
My kids loved this. Added onion and garlic to soup maker and fried off. We made soda marmite breadsticks to go with all in the same amount of time. 30 min from nothing to soup and breadsticks.

I’m glad you liked it. Garlic and onion always make good additions to soups. This one is very popular with my kids too.

Hi I have just bought a soup maker and have just found this group. I love the look of this tomato soup and would like to make it but could you verify one thing for me please. I can’t quite make out the amount of passata required. Is it that a l or 1 and what does this signify.
Man y thanks and look forward to trying this recipe.

Soup Maker Club says
Hi Doreen, it’s 1 Litre. It should have been L, but it did look very much like and i or even a 1. I’ve corrected it within the recipe now. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy it.
Linda Cant says
Is it the milk or tomato puree that’s optional? Not clear.
Soup Maker Club says
The milk is optional Linda.
