Giada De Laurentiis' Tomato Soup Is Driving TikTok Wild
Many celebrity cooks and chefs have their own tomato soup recipes. Ree Drummond calls her soup the "Best Tomato Soup Ever" and adds some sherry for flavor and heavy cream for plenty of rich creaminess (via Food Network). Gordon Ramsay makes a roasted creamy tomato soup, prepared by first roasting tomato with garlic, onion, and cayenne pepper (via YouTube).
Michael Symon makes a dairy-free version of tomato soup complete with coconut milk and a "cashew-based Faux Parmesan Cheese" (via Parade). Even Chrissy Teigen has jumped on the tomato soup bandwagon, claiming her tomato basil soup is inspired by none other than culinary legend Ina Garten (via Taste of Home).
Now another celebrity chef is debuting her own tomato soup recipe on social media. Giada De Laurentiis is showing her nearly 952,000 TikTok followers how to make her "hearty and satisfying" sundried tomato soup and fans are going wild in the comments.
De Laurentiis' secret ingredient is cannellini beans
In a video posted on TikTok, Giada De Laurentiis enjoys a steamy bowl of tomato soup, telling viewers, "THIS is my kind of soup."
She then goes on to show how to make the creamy sundried tomato — De Laurentiis uses a can of Agnoni brand (via Giadzy) — soup, which actually doesn't have any cream in it at all, but rather gains its "velvety" texture from cannellini beans. "Dip a grilled cheese in it and you'll be smiling all day!" De Laurentiis writes in the caption of the video.
Fans took to the comments with rave reviews of De Laurentiis' tomato soup, such as one user who wrote, "that's great for this cold weather thanks Giada" and another user who chimed in, "Good idea. Adds richness and protein to the soup."
Reactions to the recipe over on Twitter were similar, with a user commenting, "I need to try to make this one. Looks amazing."
