FAQ About Creamy Tomato Pesto Soup
Can I use canned tomatoes for this?
I have used canned tomatoes that were packed in olive oil and it worked just fine. The flavor may be a bit different using canned vs. fresh tomatoes.
Can this soup be made ahead of time?
The soup can be made ahead of time and stored in a tupperware container. Kept inside the fridge or on the stove top for about two hours with the heat off. It is not recommended to leave it out longer since the soup is cream based.
How long does it store for?
You can store this in the fridge with an airtight lid (tupperware) for up to 3 days. Because the soup is cream based, it should be thrown out if stored for any longer then this time frame as the milk can spoil.
