This is a standalone filling dish. It can be served as a starter, mid-day snack, or light dinner. This basic recipe can be customized or developed according to an individual’s preference.
• Serve with buttery bread slices.

Make ahead and Storing Ideas

• This tomato soup from the paste is made from store-bought cans. The idea behind this recipe is to cut down the cooking and preparation time. So, there are no make-ahead ideas to describe. But all you need to do is ensure you have canned tomato paste in your pantry.
• The leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen. Reheat it by microwave or stovetop method. Both turn out good and taste the same even after the reheating.

Can you make tomato soup out of tomato paste

After reading the above, you might know how delicious it would be. You can make either with store-bought tomato paste or homemade tomato paste. When the tomato is in season and when available in abundance, you may process and make homemade tomato paste and store it for months.

Which brand of tomato paste?

Tomato soup recipe can be made with any brand of tomato paste. And did not have a restriction to a single brand. I generally use Costco-brand organic tomato paste. And I’m always successful. I have tried a couple of times with Walmart's available significant brands and I did not have any complaints against them as well.

Can I substitute Almond milk with whole milk?

No, I strongly recommend not to use whole milk as the milk gets cuddled because of the acidity in the tomato. Almond milk in this recipe is used to mellow down the sourness of tomatoes. If you are not using almond milk to make tomato soup from tomato paste, add 1 tablespoon of butter to neutralize the taste.

Can I use tomato sauce as a substitute?

No, not in this recipe. Because tomato paste and tomato sauce are two different products. Tomato paste is plain, and tomato sauce is savory with added spices. Tomato sauce taste varies from brand to brand. So, I cannot guarantee how tomato sauce would turn in this recipe.

Possible variation of various diet

• This tomato soup- tomato paste here refers to the store-bought canned version. But can be adapted to various diets with some altering to the main recipe.
• This is naturally a Vegan, vegetarian, Whole 30,
• Substitute tomato paste with the homemade tomato puree for a Paleo, Keto, or Healthy diet.

Variations for cooking

Basic recipes can be altered to many exciting variations. The same rule applies to this homemade tomato soup using tomato paste.

• Add vegetables like carrots and peas.
• Are you planning for a last-minute dinner? This recipe is yours. Add cooked pasta to make a quick, wholesome, instant dinner.
• Throw in leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken. It is an excellent way to add a protein source.
• Spice up-add slit serrano peppers while cooking. But remove them before serving. The essence of serrano peppers gets blended beautifully and adds a nice kick to the soup.
• Try each time with different herbs like mint, cilantro, sage, lemongrass, and oregano. Each brings out different tastes and flavors. It makes everyone feel like you are serving them other dishes each time, but you repeat the same recipe. This is fun, right?

Key ingredients and their substitutions

To make tomato soup from tomato paste, we need,

Tomato paste. This is store-bought, readymade tomato paste. You can use any of your favorite brands. This tomato paste can be substituted with homemade tomato puree.
Almond milk- I have added almond milk to defuse the bold taste of the tomato. Ideally, this tomato soup tastes creamy and rich when butter is added. But almond milk does the exact role of butter and gives an aspect to the soup.

Basil. This is the flavoring agent here. You can substitute with cilantro, sage, mint, etc.
