History

Tomato soup originated in Spain, there the Spanish called it Gazpacho. However, it took some time before tomato soup became popular, in fact a couple hundred years ago tomatoes were thought to be poisonous, this took a hit to the fruit’s reputation. It wasn’t until the 1800’s in America that people started to eat tomatoes due to food shortages caused by the Civil war. The tomato’s ability to be stored for a long time in cans came in handy. From there the introduction of canned tomatoes paved the way for tomato soup. Nowadays it is popular to eat tomato soup with a delectable grilled cheese sandwich.

Review

Personally I just recently started to really like tomato soup. I have tried a variety of tomato soups from different places and brands. When I made this recipe I ended up splitting it in half. Overall I think it had too much garlic since the flavor was really strong. Another thing I noticed was you have to thoroughly blend it once you get to that step, unless you like chunky tomato soup then do as you want. In the end this wasn’t my favorite, but if you like garlic and tomatoes then this recipe is one that you’ll most likely like.
