I made this recipe recently for a grilled cheese cookoff, and everyone was raving about it. Make this your go-to tomato soup recipe all year long.
Tomato Basil Soup
Cozy up with a steaming bowl of homemade tomato basil soup! Made with fresh tomatoes and basil, this recipe is easy, nourishing, and delicious.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 large tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
1 can san Marzano whole peeled tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock
1 branch of fresh basil
1/2 cup heavy cream (leave out if vegan)
Instructions
1. In a heavy pan, melt butter over medium heat, add onions, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
2. Add chopped fresh tomatoes and the san Marzano tomatoes and break them up using a potatoes masher to break everything down. Add basil.
3. Simmer for 15- 20 minutes, transfer to a blender and add back into the pan, stir in the cream and enjoy!
Made this tonight for dinner with grilled cheese. Inspired by the IG cook off on Friday! So good! Added a dash of dry sherry to the soup. Will be making it again. ?
