A rich, velvety tomato soup with a hint of sweetness and tang, perfect for chilly evenings and cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced finely
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 pounds ripe Roma tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until they start to break down and release their juices.
  5. Mix in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
  6. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. (If using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly, blend in batches, and return it to the pot.)
  9. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the sugar if your tomatoes are particularly acidic.
  10. Simmer for another 5 minutes over low heat to combine the flavors.
  11. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.

Notes

[‘Use ripe Roma tomatoes for the best flavor.’, ‘Let the soup simmer to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.’, ‘If using a regular blender, blend in small batches and cover the lid with a kitchen towel to prevent splashes.’, ‘Taste test your soup before serving and adjust seasoning as needed.’, ‘Pair with grilled cheese or crusty bread for a complete meal.’]
