This creamy tomato soup with meatballs recipe is homemade and easy to prepare. And for Halloween decoration add a sour cream spider web.
Tomato soup, one of the favorite soups in our house. I've already covered a recipe before for rich tomato soup, but this is quite a nice addition to the recipe base. By adding the sour cream into the soup, by using a piping bottle, whereas you create a spiral in the soup and use a skewer to create a web.

Not only creepy, but really delicious!
Therefore, this soup also looks exciting and it's great fun as a dish for Halloween (or a very exciting children's party). My children first looked a little hesitant, but when the youngest (that's the daredevil in the field of food) had approved they all attacked the soup. We have eaten the freaky bread fingers with the soup and it was a tasty combination. And so we've got a lovely lunch. But I can imagine this is a great entrée for your next Halloween buffet or dinner party.
Why choose for this Halloween soup?
- Only 6 ingredients, with canned tomatoes which are sieved (so you don't have to blend the tomato soup).
- Homemade, so you can adjust this soup to your own personal taste.
- In 10 minutes on the stove and only some simmer time left.
- The spiderweb looks complicated (but really isn't) and everybody loves this addition with Halloween.
- Tomato soup with balls is one of the most favorite recipes for most people.
- You can eat this soup vegetarian (without the balls).
- The soup can be prepared in advance and only has to be warmed (and draw your spiderweb).
Ingredients for this homemade tomato soup
These are the ingredients for this delicious creamy tomato soup (with meatballs) for Halloween.
- Butter: melt the butter and mix with the flour. That way you can make a roux. A roux is made to thicken this soup.
- Flour: the second ingredient for the roux is flour. Bake the roux for 2 minutes otherwise, you will taste the flour in your soup.
- Stock: use beef stock or vegetable stock (vegetarian variant). Add the stock cold (room temperature). When you're roux is warm (like in this recipe) you add cold liquid.
- Sieved tomatoes: canned tomatoes are delicious because they've got just the right flavor. I used sieved canned tomatoes so I won't have to blend and sieve this soup.
- Sour cream: put it in a bottle and draw lines in the soup. Use at room temperature.
- Salt and pepper: flavor the soup with salt and pepper.
- Ground beef: Optional, when you want to make this creamy tomato soup with balls then use ground beef. Make balls by rolling pieces of meat between the palms of your hand. Cook for an extra 15 minutes so the beef is done.
How do you prepare this creamy tomato soup
A printable recipe in easy steps can be found on the bottom of this blog.
Step 1: Melt the butter on low heat and add the flour, while whisking with a wooden spatula. Let it bake for 2 minutes, so the flour flavor will disappear. Add the cooled stock bit by bit while stirring with a whisk. When all the stock is added, bring the soup to a boil.
Step 2: Bake the tomato paste for 2 minutes in a frying pan until the flavor is sweet, instead of sour. Add the tomato paste with the soup. Also, pour the sieved tomatoes into the pan. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Flavor with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Take the sour cream from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Put in a bottle and add a point to the middle. Draw circles around it.
Step 4: With a satay, skewer draw a line from the inside out through the layers of sour cream. This way you'll draw the spiderweb.

💭 Top tips
- This creamy tomato soup can be great as a vegetarian soup (without meatballs), use a vegetable broth base. If you want to eat it with meatballs, then a beef broth base would be very tasty;
- For this soup, you make a roux. When you make a roux one of the most important things you need to consider is that you have a hot and cold ingredient when diluting so no lumps are made. Let the butter/flour mixture cool and add hot broth or add cold broth to the hot butter/flour mixture.
- Bake the tomato paste for two minutes. Therefore the paste becomes sweeter (instead of sour). You can smell it (the puree will smell sweeter).
- If you make a vegetarian creamy tomato soup you can add sliced sundried tomatoes as a filling.
- Take the sour cream 15 minutes before decorating from the refrigerator. That way it becomes more fluid and you can draw the spider web more easily.
Prepare this in advance
This soup can be made a day before you eat it. Let cool to room temperature, but make sure that when you're cooling it is not airtight sealed and when cooled down you've got to store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Warm it just before serving and add the sour cream when serving the soup.
Store creamy tomato soup for Halloween
