There’s nothing better than a bowl of homemade tomato soup! It’s simple, creamy, and perfect for cozy days. Let’s make it together!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups ripe tomatoes (or 1 can of whole tomatoes)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • fresh basil (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add tomatoes (fresh or canned) and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches in a regular blender.
  4. Stir in the cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil for that perfect touch of flavor!
  6. Enjoy!
