Creamy Tomato Soup

Cream of tomato soup with a homemade breakfast sandwich.
The flavor of this creamy tomato soup instantly took me back to childhood. Growing up, I ate a lot of macaroni and tomato soup, made with Campbell’s condensed tomato soup, milk and elbow noodles. If it wasn’t macaroni and tomato, it was plain tomato soup with grilled cheese. It always tasted delicious and was definitely one of my kid comfort foods.

It’s funny, because my sisters and cousins all agreed that our Grandma Reilly’s macaroni and tomato soup tasted the best, but we didn’t know what tasted so special about it, other than the fact that it had really soft, overly-cooked noodles. Well, a few years back at a family get-together (probably Christmas or something), we told grandma that her soup always tasted better than anybody else’s and asked what her secret was. She replied, “I make it just like everybody else — a can of Campbell’s tomato soup, milk, macaroni and a little oleo,” (but it sounded she said a lil oleo).

We all laughed hysterically at the last ingredient and the fact that grandma said it as if we all knew to put oleo in the soup. You’d have to be part of my family to truly understand the humor in this, I suppose. My grandma always used the word oleo for margarine and butter, and I’m sure she’s not the only one!
I wanted to add some protein to the meal, but didn’t want to add any meat to the soup to take away from its pure flavor, so decided to make one of my breakfast sandwiches for the side. I whipped up some almond flour biscuits, fried an egg in grass-fed butter and sliced some avocado. Wham, bam breakfast sandwich made!

Fresh almond flour biscuits out of the oven. This is my go-to biscuit recipe. Today, I even used fresh ground almond flour.
Ingredients:

  • 28 oz can organic diced tomatoes (this brand is really good!)
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (I recommend this one or this one)
  • 2 Tbsp grass-fed butter or ghee
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh basil for garnish, optional

Directions:

  1. Pour the tomatoes into a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, sea salt and pepper, and stir for a few minutes.
  2. Once the butter is melted and the tomatoes are heated through, stir in the coconut milk. Once incorporated, pour the entire mixture into the blender and blend on high for a couple minutes or until smooth.
  3. Pour the soup back into the pot to stay warm. Serve with chopped basil, if using and a breakfast sandwich. Make sure to dunk your sandwich in the soup too. It’s divine!

Mmm ... meal perfection.

    My Mother in Law calls it Oleo. They are from Oklahoma, so I have always thought it was a southern thing!

    Funny thing, I just made a small kettle of this on Wednesday as my stomach still wasn’t feeling quite right yet after having some G.I. bug on Christmas Eve. This is always my number 1 “go-to” comfort food. I am sure that Grandma Reilly was smiling down on both of us even though I left out the “oleo”.XOXO
