A comforting, creamy, healthy homemade vegan tomato soup made with fresh tomatoes that your whole family will love!
The winter season is fast approaching here in Central Wisconsin. That means this easy, healthy, vegan tomato soup is officially in our weekly meal rotation! My favorite compliments to this soup are a bread bowl or a sour dough grilled cheese sandwich.
This tomato soup is easy to make. But that’s easy for me to say! I’m not the one who made this batch, my Grandma made it. I took this jar of soup out of my parents pantry. They pick tomatoes from their garden, make huge batches of tomato soup, and can it for the winter.
Speaking of winter, I feel like I am surrounded by complainers. E-v-e-r-y-o-n-e around me complains about the weather. In the summer it’s too hot. It’s too humid. Or, it’s too windy. In the winter it’s too cold. There’s too much snow. It’s the wrong kind of snow, it doesn’t pack together to make a snowman. There’s not enough snow to open the snowmobile trails. Too much salt in the parking lot. Not enough salt on the roads. Why doesn’t someone shovel the sidewalk better, and earlier? Will summer ever come?
My response is always a deflective one, “I love our four seasons!” I embrace each season for different reasons. All of my senses just go wild and I get super excited as the season changes because the next one brings something I’ve been missing and looking forward to.

Notes
To easily peel the tomatoes, boil enough water to cover the tomatoes in a saucepan. Once the water reaches a boil, drop the tomatoes in for 1 minute. Remove them from the boiling water and place into ice cold water right away. This helps the tomato peelings come off easily!
