Beecher’s Tomato Soup Recipe Tips:

• Beecher’s Smoky Chipotle Tomato Soup. While the tomatoes are cooking, add one or two chipotle peppers to the adobo sauce for a smokey touch. The peppers’ smokiness brilliantly balances the tomatoes’ sweetness. Your flavor profile will be deep and rich after blending. Every spoonful is thrilling due to the gentle kick of heat from the chipotle.
• Beecher’s Tomato Soup for Vegans. Just swap out the heavy cream with cashew or coconut milk for a vegan alternative. The coconut milk preserves the creamy texture while subtly adding richness. Use homemade or store-bought vegan vegetable broth instead. To make the soup more vibrant without using dairy, you may also squeeze on some lemon juice.
• Beecher’s Soup with Creamy Tomato Basil and Parmesan. Add enough of grated Parmesan cheese to the soup to add even more richness. Just before serving, stir it in to give it a cheesy, creamy feel. While the Parmesan adds a savory dimension, the fresh basil enhances the soup’s inherent herbal flavor. For added creaminess, top with a scattering of shredded mozzarella or feta.
