🍲 Classic Tomato Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
-
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes
-
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
-
1 tsp sugar (optional, balances acidity)
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
-
¼ cup heavy cream or milk (optional, for creaminess)
-
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Sauté
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
Simmer
Add canned tomatoes (with juice), broth, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
Blend
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot. Or transfer to a blender in batches (carefully!) and blend until smooth.
Finish
Stir in cream or milk if using. Simmer 2–3 minutes more. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve
Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs or a swirl of cream, and serve warm.
Pro Tip:
For a deeper flavour, add a tablespoon of tomato paste when sautéing the onions — it adds richness and umami.
