📝 Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 800g (28 oz) canned whole tomatoes OR 6 ripe fresh tomatoes, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional, for richness)

  • 1 teaspoon sugar (to balance acidity)

  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil or oregano

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (for a creamy texture)

Optional toppings: croutons, fresh basil, grated cheese, a swirl of cream

🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 2: Add Tomatoes and Simmer

Add the tomatoes (with juice), tomato paste, sugar, broth, and dried herbs. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15–20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot, or carefully transfer to a blender in batches. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Stir in Cream

Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a blender). Stir in the cream or coconut milk. Heat for 2–3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

🥣 Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a classic grilled cheese sandwich

  • Serve with crusty bread or garlic toast

  • Top with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor

💡 Tips for the Best Tomato Soup

  • Fresh vs. canned tomatoes: Canned San Marzano tomatoes add a deep, rich flavor. Use fresh tomatoes when in season for a lighter taste.

  • Add depth: A pinch of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes can enhance the flavor.

  • Creamy texture: Coconut milk is a great vegan substitute for cream.

🥄 Storage & Reheating

  • Store: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

  • Freeze: Freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

  • Reheat: Warm gently on the stove or microwave until heated through.

📌 Final Thoughts

This creamy tomato soup recipe is the perfect comfort food that’s quick to prepare and totally customizable. Whether you enjoy it smooth or chunky, with dairy or vegan-friendly, it's always a crowd-pleaser!
