Tomato Soup Recipe With 3 Ingredients
3 Ingredient recipes are pretty awesome, right?
Let me tell you about the magic of three ingredient recipes. They’re an absolute lifesaver in the kitchen and perfect for busy Moms. They’re simple. They kinda have to be really.
And picky eaters tend to go for these. There’s less ingredients for them to complain about and the flavors are easy on those little taste buds.
I know technically since we’re cheating with this and using a jar of sauce there’s more than one ingredient but for those of us making this, there are just 3 parts to this. And honestly, it works!
Three Ingredient recipes: They’re the secret weapon every mom needs and I love them! And there’s a surprising amount of them to be found :)

Why is it Called Cream of Tomato Soup?
Great Question!
The name comes from the consistency of the soup and not the ingredient. Because you blend the soup until ‘creamy’ the name ‘Cream of’ means that the the soup has been pureed or blended to a creamy texture.
It’s a pretty recent trend to add cream to the soup, which you are most welcome to do but I think it makes it a little bland. But let me know what you think!
The Secret Ingredient
OK, so maybe you guessed it?
The secret ingredient in this dish is tomato. Yep! Not just any tomato. We’re going to cheat a bit with this one and use a Jar of Pasta Sauce. To keep it clean and real, read the ingredients list on the back of the jar and choose a pasta sauce that looks a little like this one below:
How to Serve up this Recipe
This is one of our favorite Wintery night meals.
The kids make a pile of toasted cheese wholewheat sandwiches and I make the soup . Because there is nothing better than dipping the toasted cheese into a thick tomato soup. Oh My Goodness!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
We normally team the meal up with a weekly movie session. This is a definite memory maker and best family night ever!
