Ingredients

Scale

Produce

  • 3 pounds Roma tomatoes
  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Pantry

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Blanch and peel tomatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut a small X on the stem end of each tomato. Drop tomatoes into boiling water for about 1 minute, then transfer to cold water to cool. Peel off skins, discard cores, and coarsely chop the flesh.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic: In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, warm olive oil. Add sliced onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Combine tomatoes and seasonings: Add chopped tomatoes to the pot with onions, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 5 minutes. Increase heat to high, pour in vegetable broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes.
  4. Puree the soup: Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer soup to a regular blender to puree until smooth. Return to pot, stir in heavy cream, and simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes. If soup is too thin, allow it to simmer for an additional 10 minutes to thicken. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve: Ladle soup into bowls and optionally garnish with croutons, Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil leaves for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe Roma tomatoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or omit it completely.
  • Be careful when blending hot soup to avoid splatters; cool slightly before pureeing or blend in batches.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freezes well for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
