Creamy Tomato Soup

Recipe from Washington DC! A delicious Creamy Tomato Soup Just like la Madeleine restaurant in Washington DC. Filled with organic tomatoes, sweet onions and jumbo carrots to give that sweet creamy delicious taste in a puree soup.


I often have a request for this soup from my husband who loves la Madeleine Creamy Tomato Soup. Unfortunately, living in Dunedin Florida, we have none around. So there was only one thing to do and that was to recreate our find from Washington DC. I had never heard of la Madeleine until his best friend said that he loved the place. A franchise restaurant that is very popular in Texas and Washington DC with a French flair.

Creamy Tomato Soup
So my quest to recreate this soup comes from a desire to have la Madeleine Creamy Tomato Soup. The one thing that Florida has are freshly grown tomatoes year round in Dunedin Florida. Every time I’m out and about, I will always spot a truck selling them on curbside that come from Plant City.  

Creamy Tomato Soup
Not only can you get them for a fraction of the price from the supermarket but they are the best tomatoes around. Living up north, I truly missed the wonderful oranges, strawberries and tomatoes that are always full of taste. It is a joy to be back in Florida just to enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables grown year round.

About Washington DC

Living in Washington DC was a wonderful time for us to explore American history. With free museums to go to and a diverse culture of restaurants in the area, we took advantage of while living in the area. The one thing I did not like was the cost of living! 

Lincoln Memorial The rents and housing are so high that most people live in groups 0f people  to afford rent. Even with high salaries you can still live in poverty due to the cost of living. For myself, I  had to budget out every week for groceries and entertainment was limited. Restaurant were left for special occasions. When going to a museums (FREE!)  I packed a lunch and made sure to have water with us so as not to buy $5 water on the way.

Jefferson Monument We only had one car and most of the time I took the trolley which was free or train to get around. On peak hours, the train is double the cost unless you're a government worker.

Things-to-do-in-DC Even though it was difficult at times with the cost of living, we loved going to the museums and most of all the tours were everything that history books did not include, which I loved!!! Nothing beats a murder mystery or a great affair story with an entertaining tour guide.

La Madeline was located down the street from us and for $6.50 we got a bowl of soup with bread and butter. It was a great way to get a quick bite without overspending on our budget when I didn't want to cook.

How to Make Creamy Tomato Soup

This is such an easy recipe to make with only a pot and blender needed as your cooking tools with a sharp knife to slice and dice.

6. Add the and sauté the carrots along with the onions.

mixing and blending soup
7. Add the tomatoes and mix into the pot and let it boil a little while mixing.
8. Once everything starts to be fragrant, add the water, garlic, chicken broth, oregano, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then lower heat. I cooked for about 1 hour until it reduced down and started to get thicker on low heat.
9. Once it’s fully cooked I then put it in my Vitamix and blend until smooth. I let it vent by not putting the nob but a towel on top to let the steam out. Another way to do this is to let it cool and then put it in the blender to puree.
10. I return it to another pot, so the creamy soup can go in one pot while I  finish the blending of the soup. Once it’s done I can now warm up or I put it in containers to freeze in individual servings.
11. Sauté the carrots and onions until they brown a little and keep to making this soup. It brings out lots of flavor along with fresh tomato cooking on low for a while for it to reduce some of the fluid.

Variations

The soup can be used as a base where more can be added to the soup. I have added spinach, tortellini with cheese or better yet a mix of vegetables.

  • Tortellini
  • Croutons
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Vegetables

Ways To Serve

I love serving this soup with my Pao de Queijo Recipe which makes Delicious Cheese Bread, very popular in Brazil. Another popular side that I will make is grilled cheese sandwich for dipping.

Tips

Sauté the carrots and onions until they brown a little and keep to making this soup. It brings out lots of flavor along with fresh tomato cooking on low for a while for it to reduce some of the fluid.
