Creamy Tomato Soup

  

Soup is a delicious and hearty meal that can be enjoyed any time of year. There are many types of soup, but one of my favorites is creamy tomato soup. This soup is made with a simple combination of ingredients that are easy to find. It is also very versatile and can be served with various toppings, such as grilled cheese, croutons, or shredded cheese.

 

Ingredients

 

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes

1 can (14.5 ounces) tomato sauce

4 cups vegetable broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

 

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened about 5 minutes.  

 

Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the soup has thickened.  

 

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth.

 

Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.

 

Serve hot.

 

Tips

 

For a thicker soup, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the pot before pureeing.

To make this soup vegan, use vegetable broth and vegan heavy cream.

This soup is great for leftovers! It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Enjoy!
