Tomato Soup

Tomato soup is a soup made with tomatoes as a main ingredient. It is often made from tomato puree or paste, water or broth, and seasonings. The soup can be smooth or chunky, and is often served hot.

Tomato soup is used as a base for other dishes, a sauce, or a standalone soup. It is often found in canned or condensed forms, and is also used in recipes for casseroles and pasta dishes. Manufacturers use it for its tomato flavor and color.

Tomato soup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants, such as lycopene. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tomato products, and they are considered safe for consumption. No significant health controversies are associated with typical consumption of tomato soup.
