Tomato Soup with Cottage Cheese is a creamy, protein-rich version of classic tomato soup. It blends bright, tangy tomatoes with the creamy texture of cottage cheese for a comforting, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes or tomato puree
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • Optional: fresh basil, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of cream for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Add crushed tomatoes and broth. Season with salt, pepper, and dried basil.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in cottage cheese.
  7. Blend the soup using an immersion blender or in batches with a regular blender until smooth.
  8. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve warm with desired toppings.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
  • Blend well for a smooth consistency or leave unblended for a chunky soup.
  • For extra richness, add a splash of cream or milk before serving.
  • Roast fresh tomatoes for added depth of flavor if not using canned.
