Italian Tomato Soup Recipe with Tomato Puree

Sweet vine-ripened flavor is the focus in this luscious and satisfying Italian tomato soup that celebrates the richness of long summer days.

Made with Tomato puree

Mutti® Tomato Puree (Passata) is sun-ripened 100% Italian tomatoes transformed into sweet velvety puree with just a touch of Mediterranean sea salt. After eliminating the skin and seeds, the tomatoes are pureed to achieve a smooth, luxurious texture while maintaining their bright red color and naturally sweet flavor. Fantastic in marinara sauce, tomato soup, or even a Bloody Mary.
