Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe
This classic tomato soup is comforting, flavourful, and easy to make with just a handful of wholesome ingredients. Roasted onions, garlic, and mixed tomatoes give it depth, while a touch of cream or milk makes it velvety smooth. Perfect for cosy winter meals, and even better served with a golden cheese toasty on the side for added fibre and protein.
