The history of tomato soup is a long and winding one. The first recorded recipe for tomato soup appeared in an Italian cookbook in the 17th century. The recipe called for tomatoes, onions, garlic, and olive oil. Over time, the recipe evolved, and different variations began to emerge. In the 19th century, tomato soup became popular in the United States. American cooks began adding cream to the soup, which gave it a richer flavor. Today, tomato soup is a staple in many American households. It's a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. Tomato soup is also a popular choice for canned soups. In fact, Campbell's Tomato Soup is one of the best-selling canned soups in the world.
