Best Quick Tomato Soup Recipe
Warm up with our simple and savoury quick tomato soup recipe! It's the ideal blend of ripe tomatoes and herbs, all in a satisfying bowl.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 (14 oz each) of diced tomatoes
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 tsp sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup heavy cream (optional)
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the pot, along with the broth and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender to puree.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. If you’d like a creamier soup, stir in the heavy cream at this point.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
