  2. Is there a way to make this tomato soup vegan?

    Absolutely! You can substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or a plant-based cream alternative. Additionally, ensure that the vegetable broth is vegan-friendly.

  3. How can I store leftover tomato soup?

    You can store leftover tomato soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing it in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months.

  4. What can I serve with tomato soup?

    Tomato soup pairs well with grilled cheese sandwiches, crusty bread, or a fresh salad. You can also garnish it with fresh basil or croutons for added flavor and texture.

  5. Can I make this soup ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make the soup ahead of time. It actually tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Just reheat it gently on the stove before serving.
