A bowl of steaming soup can always help to warm your spirit. I enjoy curling up with my cozy blanket in front of the TV to watch one or two of my favorite programs (Friends and Gilmore Girls). What could possibly be more soothing than a cup of my homemade Creamy Tomato Soup?

There’s nothing like freshly made Tomato Soup.

Seeing my son smile when I make his favorite soup is my favorite part of creating this meal. The tastiest soup in the world, Mami, he even exclaimed. I was really ecstatic:). He is such a fussy eater in my eyes. Therefore the fact that he ate my soups means a lot to me.

How to make this Tomato Soup:

In a nonstick pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 large onion and 4 garlic cloves (diced). Cook and stir them until they look translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Add 1 can (28oz) diced tomatoes and 1 can (35oz) plum tomatoes (peeled ). Make sure to add the liquid of the can of tomatoes as well.

Using a conventional blender or an immersion blender, as I did, you may puree this soup. It’s crucial to avoid entirely covering the normal blender when blending the soup; simply remove the plug (middle part). With your hands, place a kitchen towel on top. By allowing the heat to escape, the towel will shield you from burning and mess-making. To puree, it’s also crucial to divide the mixture into batches. To securely blend the entire pot of soup, the standard blender is not large enough (I did three batches).Trust me, it’s worth the work! However, I will definitely get myself an immersion blender:) Always handle with care when transferring the soup.

 

 
The mixture should then be placed back in the saucepan. Then incorporate some basil, heavy cream, salt, and pepper (to taste). Allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until it thickens, over medium-low heat.

Tips:

I like to make a couple of batches to have leftovers, as this soup consistency gets thicker, creamier, and better the next day. For a non-dairy version, substitute the heavy cream for coconut milk, just take note this might change the flavors of the soup. You can also substitute with soy milk or almond milk, but the consistency of the soup might not be as thick, but still good!

This Homemade Creamy Tomato Soup is an excellent choice for lunch, dinner, or why not brunch!

Ingredients

  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 1 can (28oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (35oz) plum tomatoes (peeled )
  • 1 cup vegetable stock (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano dry
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • In a nonstick pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 large onion and 4 garlic cloves (diced). Cook and stir them until they look translucent about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add 1 can (28oz) diced tomatoes and 1 can (35oz) plum tomatoes (peeled ). Make sure to add the liquid of the can of tomatoes as well. 
  • Then, add 1 cup of vegetable stock, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of oregano and keep cooking. Next, transfer the mixture into a blender and puree until the desired consistency is obtained.
  • Then, return the mixture back into the pot. Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream, some basil, salt , and black pepper (to taste).
  • Let it simmer over medium-low heat for about 20- 30 minutes or until it thickens
  • Serve with a nice crispy grilled cheese sandwich and Enjoy!

Notes

  • It’s also important to divide into batches to puree. The regular blender size is not big enough to safely blend all the soup in one shot (I did three batches). Trust me it’s worth the work!
  • For a non-dairy version, substitute the heavy cream for coconut milk, just take note this might change the flavors of the soup. You can also substitute with soy milk or almond milk, but the consistency of the soup might not be as thick, but still good!
