Description

The aroma of ripe tomatoes and herbs simmering on the stove create a sense of warmth and comfort that is unmistakable. The rich and velvety texture of this soup, along with its chunky bits of tomato, creates a symphony of flavors that is nothing short of heavenly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes

  • Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh tomatoes – the quality of the tomatoes used in the recipe is crucial for the soup’s flavor. Use ripe, fresh tomatoes for the best taste.
  • Add some acidity – adding a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice can balance the sweetness of the tomatoes and add a hint of tartness to the soup.
  • Don’t skimp on the cream – a dollop of heavy cream or coconut cream can enhance the creaminess of the soup and add richness to the flavor. Add gradually, stirring constantly, until the desired consistency is achieved.
