A bright and beautiful bowl of homemade tomato soup delivers comfort in every spoonful. There are plenty of ways to make a basic recipe your own, whether it's by adding ingredients to boost the protein or fiber content or a clever choice of toppings to provide some extra crunch, creaminess, or flavor. Of course, there are also plenty of mistakes everyone makes with tomato soup that can seriously disrupt the smooth mouthfeel with an unwelcome chunky consistency.
But for many, that silky texture is key, and Gordon Ramsay has just the trick for achieving it every time: adding a little dash of cream. The celebrity chef previously shared his roasted tomato soup recipe in a YouTube video demonstration, where the notes say that cream leads to a "richer, creamier soup." Ramsay uses just a drizzle, and he adds it in right at the end of the cooking process before blending the soup.
