High Protein Tomato Soup with Cottage Cheese - a delicious fall soup. Cottage cheese makes the soup creamy and full of protein. Even if you don't like cottage cheese you will love this recipe, you don't taste the cottage cheese because it gets blended up. Instead it adds a nice umami undertone to the soup. It is a perfect recipe to convert over a cottage cheese hater.

I love cottage cheese recipes. For another yummy bean cottage cheese recipe try my cottage cheese pumpkin milkshake or my air fryer cottage cheese toast.
