Notes
- Nutritional info is provided as a courtesy only. Although celebratednest.com strives to provide accurate nutritional information, these figures are only estimates.
- I like to make this soup in my Dutch oven — it heats evenly and helps the cheese melt smoothly into the tomato base.
- For extra creaminess, add a splash more heavy cream just before serving.
- If you prefer a thinner soup, whisk in a little additional water or broth until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Try topping with chopped green onions, fresh basil, or a sprinkle of extra Asiago cheese.
- This soup pairs perfectly with a crusty baguette, grilled cheese, or a simple salad for a cozy meal.
