Spiced Wintertime Tomato Soup with Hard Boiled Eggs

Kerri Conan

BY Mark Bittman

PUBLISHED December 8, 2025

Here's the easiest, creamiest homemade tomato soup ever. Each bite brightens the chilliest days—or nights—with a touch of warm spice. And it's super adaptable: Whole tomatoes you puree yourself deliver rich body and flavor, but crushed or diced are fine in a pinch, and you can skip that step if you want a chunkier soup. You pick the spice, too—curry or chili powder both do the trick. To make this a meal in a bowl, nestle in a hard-boiled egg, done to your liking. And for an even heartier version, add a cup or so of cooked rice just before serving and stir until piping hot.
