7 Delicious Tomato Soup Recipes - A collection of easy, unique recipe twists on an iconic round-the-world favorite. 

I don't want to sound sacrilegious or unpatriotic, but I was never a fan of tomato soup ( the All-American soup of choice) as a child. I had a very limited, picky palate and back in those days, the only tomato soup people knew about was the condensed stuff in the red and white can. Fast forward many years (and slightly more developed taste buds), I was shocked with my first spoonful of "real" tomato soup... so delicious!

I've been "running" with all sorts of tomato soup recipes ever since. In fact, I was kind of shocked myself when I checked how many unique tomato soup recipes we have in the Café archives. As you'll see from the recipes below, tomato soup is kind of a blank palate and can pair beautifully with lots of other ingredients and flavors. Check out some of our favorites!

Thought for the day:

For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.
The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
Psalm 95:3-6
