It’s easy to make, delicious, and can be customized with lots of seasonings and toppings. In this article, we share a simple and easy creamy tomato soup recipe that you can make in your own kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cans tomatoes (28 oz total)
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
Instructions:
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the tomatoes (with their juice), chicken or vegetable stock, sugar, salt and black pepper to the pan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Puree the soup with a stick blender until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can puree the soup in batches in a regular blender.
Return the pan to the heat and add the whipped cream.
Bring the soup to a boil and cook for a further 5-10 minutes, or until hot.
Serve hot soup with your favorite toppings, such as croutons, grated cheese or fresh herbs.
The recipe for making the perfect creamy tomato soup
Use good canned tomatoes. If you can’t find the tomatoes you like, you can use fresh tomatoes.
If you want a thick soup, you can skip the soup or just half of it.
If you don’t have whipped cream, you can use half and half or milk instead. Keep in mind that the soup will not be very creamy.
You can add different seasonings to the soup, such as basil, oregano or thyme.
If you use fresh tomatoes, you can add a little sugar to balance the acidity.
Do not bring the soup to a boil after adding the cream, as this will curdle the soup.
