2 18-ounce jars crushed tomatoes or tomato puree (not paste)
2 ½ teaspoons sea salt, plus more if your stock is unsalted
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Before we know it these summer days are going to come to an end. The days will get shorter and we’ll be pulling out the extra blankets, heavy coats and fuzzy socks in our best attempts to keep warm. As for right now, the days are warm and the nights are cool and we want to stay outside enjoying time with friends and family around the fire pit. We want a dish that will keep us warm from within, that’s easy to make and everyone will enjoy and this creamy tomato soup is the ideal remedy for just that
While hosting family and friends for an outdoor meal around a fire pit, a cool wind sweeps through the yard. We reach for some throw blankets and our favorite recipe for tomato soup. This soup is the creamiest recipe we’ve tried thus far and it has never disappointed us. Onion, carrots, tomatoes and white beans are some highlights from this recipe and after combining all of the ingredients and seasonings we have a delicious soup that quickly makes us forget about the cool night. Everyone holds the bowl up to their face and spoons bite after bite into their mouths and we are instantly warmed, feeling lit within. We love this recipe not only because of how creamy it is, but the flavor itself is rich and since it's homemade as opposed to coming from a can, all of the seasonings electrify our taste buds.
We’ve pulled out this recipe for the cooler side of these summer nights but we will be making this soup well into the fall and winter months. We love this recipe not only for sharing with friends, but for curing heartaches, and camping as well. We can’t resist the fresh ingredients it calls for and we already have most of them in our kitchen and it’s quick to throw together and even quicker to sip down. So, next time you’re looking for a recipe to prepare to cure a case of chills, look no further than this recipe for creamy tomato soup.
It’s not only this fresh recipe for tomato soup that we’re obsessed with, but who would we be if we didn’t let you in on some styling tips of our own that we’re sporting while cooking this delectable recipe? We’re layering our Sterling Silver and Quartz Caius Bracelet with our Unearthed II Bangle which you can be sure will not slip while whipping up this recipe. Just as the onion pairs well with the tomato puree, these bangles pair well with the simple but elegant Obelisk Necklace. After all, who doesn’t want to look and feel their best while preparing only the best meals for their loved ones?
