Description
A delicious and creamy tomato soup made with fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped (roughly 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat the oil until hot. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Add the tomatoes, broth, and basil. Bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the soup to a blender then puree until smooth, roughly 1-2 minutes (be very careful as hot liquid expands when blended).
- Pour the soup back into the pot and bring to a simmer. Stir in the milk, brown sugar, and salt. If the soup is too thick, add more broth.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- This soup pairs well with grilled cheese sandwiches.
