Tomato Soup FAQ
One of the most common difficulties when cooking tomato soup is achieving the desired consistency. Many people struggle with making their soup too thin or too lumpy. It's critical to use enough liquid, and to puree the soup properly once the cooking is done to get the creamy texture. To get the most out of your tomato soup, consider roasting the tomatoes before adding them into the soup. This depth of flavor this adds is phenomenal. Don’t forget about seasoning. Salt is your friend in tomato soup, it helps to carry all of these delicious flavors across your palate. A little known tip is to add a pinch of sugar if your soup tastes too acidic. This will balance out the taste nicely. For those who want an extra creamy tomato soup, consider blending in some soft, cooked white beans. It will add extra creaminess and also supercharge your soup with protein.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does tomato soup expire?
Unopened canned tomato soup can last up to 18 months in your pantry, but always check the 'Best By' date to be sure. Once opened, the soup should be consumed within 3-5 days if refrigerated. If you've made the soup from scratch, it's safe to consume within 5-7 days when refrigerated. You can also freeze the homemade soup, in this case, it would last for 4-6 months.
How do you tell if tomato soup is bad?
The signs of spoiled tomato soup include an off-putting smell, change in color, or moldy growth. It's specifically important to note that the tangy smell of tomatoes might become acrid when turned bad. Also, take a look at the texture – if it has become thick, with a layer of water separating from the soup, it might have gone off.
Tips for storing tomato soup to extend shelf life
• Always store the tomato soup in a cool, dry place when unopened. Your pantry is perfect for this. • Once opened or made, store the soup in airtight containers to prevent air from spoiling it, and refrigerate. • Its better not to store the soup in the can it comes in once opened, as the can could rust and mix with the soup. • For longer storage, you can freeze it in portion-sized freezer bags or containers – this way you'll also reduce waste as you can reheat only the amount you're going to consume.
