From warm, creamy chowders to the classic tomato basil, you'll find the perfect tomato soup for a delicious one-dish meal. Sometimes there’s nothing better than a good ol’ cup of tomato (with a grilled cheese, of course!) These soups take advantage of the best produce, from roasted corn to poblano peppers. Quick and easy to prepare, they are the perfect solution for feeding a large family or getting dinner ready in a pinch.

Creamy Tomato Soup with Parmesan Crisps

Credit: Caitlin Bensel
View Recipe: Creamy Tomato Soup with Parmesan Crisps

We've turned our favorite part of a grilled cheese sandwich—when the cheese hits the hot pan and becomes a lacy, golden crisp—into a garnish for quick, creamy tomato soup. Grated Parmesan cheese melts and melds with crispy panko breadcrumbs in the skillet into silver dollar-sized crisps, then are flipped to brown on the other side. If you don’t have half-and-half, stir a spoonful or two of the pureed soup into yogurt until smooth, then stir that mixture back into the soup.

Silky Tomato Soup with White Beans and Garlic Oil

View Recipe: Silky Tomato Soup with White Beans and Garlic Oil

Creamy, silky tomato soup is the ultimate comfort food. We've elevated the traditional soup with the addition of white cannellini beans and toasty garlic oil. You won't miss any of the cream or calories from this dairy-free tomato soup as the texture is still silky from blending the tomato base. With the addition of the white beans, each serving provides 8 grams of protein making this vegetarian meal foolproof. Serve alongside our revamped Grilled Cheese Skillet "Panini" for a complete meal kids and adults will all approve of. We lean on reduced-fat cheddar in this sandwich but add a little canola mayo to stretch the cheese and encourage extra meltiness for a mixture that has 50% less sat fat than regular cheddar and saves 190mg sodium over processed American cheese.

Tomato-Seashell Soup

View Recipe: Tomato-Seashell Soup

For quick and healthy lunches, stock up on 1-pint jars for portable and perfectly portioned salads and soups. This Italian soup packs 10g of protein in a meal that's less than 250 calories. Layer up and refrigerate as many jars as you need—just add hot water at the office. If sending this kid-friendly soup to school in a lunch box, pack in an insulated thermos and top off with hot water at home. Use a spiralizer to make fun zucchini noodles, or a vegetable peeler for ribbons. Or just finely chop for faster prep.

A bit of 1/3-less-fat cream cheese adds rich body to our Tomato-Basil Soup, a fast weeknight meal that boasts three times the protein compared to common store-bought varieties.

Roasting the tomatoes and garlic brings out a deep, savory flavor, allowing us to use less salt and save 450mg sodium per serving over traditional tomato soup. For speedier prep, use an immersion blender to puree the soup.
