This chunky homestyle tomato soup is loaded with the flavors of rich roasted tomatoes, basil and Parmesan cheese. Pair it up with our White Cheddar Grilled Cheese sandwich for a hearty soup & sandwich meal. Classic comfort food at its finest.

Why try? Nothing beats the comfort food appeal of homemade tomato soup!

Foodie Bytes:
  • Roasting diced tomatoes adds a rich sweet caramelized flavor note to soup.
  • Pressed for time? Eliminate the roasting step and save 20 minutes on your prep time.
  • For a chunky tomato soup with bold contemporary flavor, try fire-roasted diced tomatoes, available in the canned tomato aisle.
