Ingredients for Creamy Tomato Soup
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (28 ounces each) crushed tomatoes
2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream or milk
How to make Creamy Tomato Soup
Gather your ingredients.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are softened and fragrant.
Simmer the Base: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in sugar, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Blend for Creaminess: Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches, blending until creamy.
Exercise caution as hot liquids can expand. I let my soup cool, then added it to the blender to blend, then back to the dutch oven to reheat.
Add Creamy Goodness: Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, letting the cream infuse its richness into the dish.
Taste and Adjust: Season the soup according to your preferences. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the creamy tomato soup into bowls. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch. Pair it with crusty bread or grilled cheese for the perfect comforting meal.
