Who doesn't love a classic tomato soup? It's warm and comforting & I've put a little twist on it! Adding the flavors of a Caprese salad just seemed natural to me. So this Caprese Tomato Soup is the best of both worlds!

Something about tomato soup just calls for melty cheese and the zing of balsamic cuts the richness of the cheese and tomato soup.

How To Make Soup a Filling Meal

I have a little secret ingredient in my soup to make it feel creamy and thick without actually adding cream or milk....chickpeas!

Chickpeas are an awesome lean protein and when thoroughly blended, meld really well with the acidity of the tomato.

It really helps turn a measly cup of soup into a full blown, satisfying meal.

Adding just a pinch of basil on top really brings it all together and sells the "Caprese" salad idea.

What Is In Caprese Salad?

Traditionally Caprese salad is an Italian salad of tomato, mozzarella, basil, salt, pepper, and maybe a drizzle of balsamic!

It is red, white, and green which are the colors of the Italian flag. It's a delicious salad on it's own and the flavors are perfect in a tomato soup.
