Creamy Tomato Soup with Corn, Chicken and Bacon is such a comforting soup recipe served in a bread bowl! This savory and nutritious soup is made in just 15 minutes!
Creamy Tomato Soup with Corn, Chicken and Bacon
Creamy soup without the guilt, yes you heard me correctly 🙂 Have you ever used buttermilk in place of heavy cream for cream soups? Well, it works beautifully and really cuts down on fat and calories, woohoo!
I will be the first to admit that I don’t use it all the time, heaven knows I love my heavy cream, but sometimes it is a great option….like in this speedy tomato soup that’s done in about 15 minutes.
I love picking up some nice bread bowls from the grocery store to serve homemade soup in. Feels kinda like you are eating at a restaurant, you know? I added a small can of Mexicorn from Green Giant that has some red and green peppers mixed in. If you can’t find it at your grocery store, just a normal can of corn is fine 🙂
Hope you all enjoy!
Here’s your simple line-up. Nothing too crazy 🙂
How to Make This Healthy Tomato Soup

They’ll be nice and pureed like so.

Place soup inside your bread bowl, mmmmm!

Big Fan of your cooking!
I have not tried shredding chicken in my bosch, I’ll have to keep that in mind, thanks for the tip!!
This seriously sounds so yummy. I like the idea of the bread bowl — kind of earthy & homey. Quickly bookmarked this, along with the Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Eggs & your Ugliest Best Cookie. Had to chuckle over that one. That sounds like it would be so yummy over ice cream! Thanks for sharing all the deliciousness.
I’m excited that you are writing a cookbook. Is this your first or have you written others? Our son is an Executive Chef & is working on a cookbook in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Weil. Michael is the Exec. Chef of True Food Kitchen where Dr. Weil is part owner. They have 2 restaurants in AZ, in Phoenix & in Scottsdale, one in Newport Beach & about to open #4 in Santa Monica. The cookbook will reflect the organic, healthy menu of the restaurant. Writing cookbooks seems such an exciting endeavor. I wish you all the best.

This soup in the bread basket looks delicious! I like how you added buttermilk to it.
Love how quick this is!!
LOVE how quick and easy this is, it’d be perfect dinner on this stormy night! š
Does the buttermilk give it a funky flavor??
This looks so delicious and hearty! Love the addition of the bread bowl š
Oh, I love this idea and the bread bowl is the show-stopper! š Now if only I can convince my husband that we should have something besides mozzarella-stuffed meatballs for dinner on occasion…!
Too funny Jordan! I think he’d like this one too š
I love eating soup in a bread bowl!
How cute is this soup?? I love cute soup! Looks delicious and easy too- bonus š
This look soooo good! WHY have I never thought to make my own bread bowls?? They’d be PERFECT for clam chowder!
I know in some recipes that you can substitute sour milk (lemon and milk) for buttermilk… wondering if that would work in this one or if the consistency would be different enough to make it a bad idea?? Comments?
Hi Jen,
I wouldn’t use that substitute for this particular recipe. I know that would work in most baked goods, but I can’t imagine it working out in my tomato soup š Hope this helps :0
OMGEEEE Jenny!!! SOOO delish! thanks for posting! I do think I did something wrong cause mine didn’t come out creamy at all, but still delish!
Glad you enjoyed it Sara, maybe next time add a little more buttermilk and chicken broth until it’s as creamy as you’d like.
LOVE soup no matter what the season, this looks great, thanks!
My husband and I just ate at the Yard House Restaurant this weekend and I had their Tomato Bisque. It was so good. He told me I have got to learn how to make it. I am going to try this recipe and I already know it will be good, because ev-er-ry thing you make is good. (And this is easy).
Thanks Lanell,
You will love this simple soup. Definitely serve it in bread bowls, makes it so fun!
I love the bread bowl! Yum!
Perfect for easter or a mother’s day brunch!

Thanks Jenn,
Hope you enjoy!
That looks delicious! I’d never think to add those ingredients to tomato soup but I’ve added pasta to my tomato soup to bulk it up.
Looks so good. I really need a food processor.
ooooo, Erin yes you do need a food processor, I use mine all of the time!!
Oh that looks SO good and comforting! I will have to try it š
Right up my alley! Simple, delicious! My family will love this!
Thanks for helping me decide what to make for dinner tonight!! It’s raining here so it’s a perfect meal for that! Now I need to decide which goodie of yours to make to go with it since a rainy day is perfect for baking with my 4 year old! š
This sounds delicious!! I also love using evaporated milk in place of cream – it works great as well!
Great tip, thanks for sharing Deborah!!
