Fresh Tomato Soup is a vibrant, flavorful, and comforting soup highlighting the natural sweetness and acidity of ripe tomatoes, perfect for any season with a smooth, creamy texture.

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  2. 1 onion, chopped
  3. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 6 cups ripe tomatoes, chopped (or canned whole tomatoes)
  5. 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  6. 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  7. Salt and pepper to taste
  8. Fresh basil for garnish
  9. Optional: cream or coconut milk for creaminess

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

  1. Stir in chopped tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes until they break down.
  2. Pour in broth, add sugar if using, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender to puree until smooth.
  4. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Add cream or coconut milk if desired.
  5. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot or chilled.

Notes

  1. Roast tomatoes before cooking for deeper flavor.
  2. Add red pepper flakes or cayenne for a spicy twist.
  3. Use thyme, oregano, or parsley instead of basil for herb variations.
  4. Stir in cooked lentils or beans for a heartier soup.
  5. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 4 days; freeze up to 3 months.
  6. Reheat gently on stove or microwave.
