A homemade, velvety smooth tomato soup that’s rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Perfect for a cozy meal, it pairs beautifully with grilled cheese for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Ingredients

  • Fresh tomatoes: 6-8 medium-sized tomatoes (about 4 cups chopped)
  • Onion: 1 medium onion, chopped
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Chicken broth: 4 cups
  • Heavy cream: 1 cup
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons
  • Salt and pepper: To taste (typically about 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Add the Tomatoes: Add chopped fresh tomatoes to the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, until they break down and soften.
  3. Pour in the Broth: Add chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for another 10-15 minutes.
  4. Puree the Soup: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth (or use a regular blender in batches).
  5. Add the Cream: Stir in heavy cream and simmer for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve Warm: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with grilled cheese or other sides.

Notes

  • For a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup or use a potato masher.

  • Fresh basil or thyme can be added during simmering for enhanced flavor.
