Victory gardens were a huge part of life during the 1940s. Soups, such as tomato soup, were a satisfying and cost-effective meal that could also stretch more precious ingredients such as meat and dairy.
This tomato soup recipe is simple, quick, and perfect to make when tomatoes are ripe. Delicious with garlic bread or a grilled cheese sandwich.
This tomato soup recipe uses fresh tomatoes and will remind you of your mom’s famous cooking.
Ingredients for Tomato Soup
· Tomatoes (fresh)
· Chicken broth: Using broth will help make this more of a soup and less like a sauce.
· Garlic: The recipe calls for about four cloves, but feel free to use however much your heart desires.
· Onion: A yellow or white onion would be ideal for this soup.
· Butter: Use butter to make a roux, a thickening agent made from flour and fat.
· Flour: Use all-purpose flour to make your roux.
· Sugar and Salt: Add these two seasonings until the soup suites your taste buds.
How to Make Tomato Soup
· Boil the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and broth.
· Run the mixture through a food mill into a large bowl.
· Make a roux.
· Add the tomato mixture and season
For the Grilled Cheese Sandwich
· Butter the outside of two slices of bread
· Slice mature cheddar (or your cheese of choice) and put in on the non-buttered side.
· Make a sandwich
· Toast the sandwiches evenly on both sides on a toasty maker or grill.
Enjoy!

What a lovely video. Great food and one of my favourite films. I wished I was there ❤
I admire your enamel saucepan. I have an enamelled cast iron frypan.
I have used canned tomato sauce or paste to make a homemade tomato soup but this looks even better. Trying to figure out if my immersion blender would work in place of a food mill
Bless ya another cosy vlog beautifull dress my mum watch one of your vlogs and she said your very pretty ❤😊
Always look fwd to your vlogs yes your right it is spooky out there expecially when it's foggy reminds me of the headless horseman movie the fig does😂
This is definitely going on next week's "meal plan" menu.
Mmm sounds so delicious!
I make homemade tomato soup all the time. We eat it with grilled cheese also. I have a large garden and canned so many tomatoes we can eat it once a week
Yum!!!🍁🍁
That looks absolutely gorgeous! As do the nail polish and eyeshadow. Great pop of pumpkin warmth there to go with the Autumnal supper. All other homemade tomato soups look watery but this looks thick and luscious. Gotta have a cheese toastie too. It's the law.🍅 🧀
Going back on time videos are my favourites, it is like a master class every time.
Awe loved this, so cosy and with your mum. I wish I could watch a fun movie with my mom with yummy grilled cheese and tomato soup cuddling warm on the couch. But I am glad you can with yours.
So cozy! 😊
To make a roux; melt the butter; stir in equal amount of flour; cook for a minute to cook the flour, gradually add add the liquid stirring till smooth, even though yours turned out perfect
8:04 to 8:10 is the best part
Don't you just love the kitchen from that movie!? We'll, the entire house…
these mukbangs are so comforting this is genuinely the dream ✨
Happy to see you making more videos lately – enjoying the topics, the vibes, the aesthetics, the chatty commentary. Pigeons, food, frugality, fashion, home decor! I feel like you would be a fun friend to spend time with. I am learning some new tidbits about English history along the way as well. With love from Minnesota, U.S. ❤
I love that movie so much. ❤❤❤
The apron, there it is !!😉😊
Yummy soup! Practical Magic is one of my favourite films ❤
Great video as always! I love your videos! I'm jealous of your weather though, because here in Fresno, California it's predicted to be 104° F tomorrow! I am so ready for nice, cool Autumn weather!!
Wholesome soup making, thunderstorm, Practical Magic shared with someone so dear is perfect! Plus, in pyjamas! Excellent!
Always good to make something from scratch because you know what is going in it and if you want you can make loads and freeze it for another time! Amazing video 😊
I love your channel!
I'm making this soup now.
I want to make this now. But with white bread. But the soup exactly as you did it
Are the Lurpak butter dish and toast rack original?
You’ve made me so hungry and nostalgic. The rain helped with the cozy. Now I have to make this for dinner tonight. Love your videos!
LOL when you said " I'm a white bread girl' (as am I) I started wondering if the complaints against the National Loaf where basically people used to white bread complaining about just denser whole grain – or if it really was just terrible. Especially as there was nothing on it, as well, then, only a scrape of marge if you were lucky.
