Tomato soup made from pureed tomatoes
Tomato soup made from pureed tomatoes is a dish made by blending ripe, flavorful tomatoes into a smooth, creamy base. This soup involves simmering fresh tomatoes until soft, then pureeing them to create a silky texture. It often includes aromatics like onions, garlic, and herbs such as basil or thyme for added depth of flavor. Some recipes might incorporate cream or broth to enhance richness, while others maintain a simpler approach by focusing solely on the vibrant essence of pureed tomatoes seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices.
Ingredients
- 1 lbs ripe tomatoes chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon sugar optional, to balance acidity
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves optional, for garnish
- Heavy cream optional, for added richness
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the chopped onion and cook for some minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot. Cook until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices in the same pot.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender in batches to puree until smooth.
- When done, return the pureed soup to the pot still on medium-low. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar (if using) to taste. If desired, add a splash of heavy cream for extra richness.
- Once warmed through, ladle it into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of cream if desired.This homemade Tomato Soup made from pureed tomatoes is a dish, perfect for chilly days or as a delicious starter to any meal. Enjoy
