Tomato Mascarpone Soup
This homemade Tomato Mascarpone Soup is creamy, rich in flavor and incredibly easy to make! It’s the perfect comfort food, especially when paired with a grilled cheese sandwich!
Adding mascarpone cheese gives this tomato soup a creamy texture, it melts smoothly and has a mild flavor that complements the tanginess of the tomatoes.
Made from scratch soup is one of my favorite things to cook. My love of making soup came from my Grandma who made the most incredible soups with whatever she had on hand. Often made with leftovers from dinner the previous night.
Making homemade soup isn’t difficult and allows you to get creative with your culinary skills. I don’t typically measure anything and start with my Homemade Chicken Broth as a base. So have some fun with the basics in this recipe and add your own flare.
One of my favourite things to have for lunch is a grilled cheese sandwich with homemade tomato soup! Now that’s pure comfort food; dunking a perfectly melted grilled cheese into a hot bowl of tomato soup. Pair this soup for a light dinner with Butternut Squash Scones or a light salad like Avocado Citrus Salad.
