Ingredients for Tomato Bliss
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delectable soup:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar (to counteract acidity)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions: Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get down to business:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Your kitchen is about to smell divine!
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Be careful not to burn it, unless you like your soup with a hint of bitterness!
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and the broth. Sprinkle in the sugar, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. This is when all the flavors get to know each other.
- Once simmered, remove from heat and use an immersion blender or a regular blender (careful with that hot stuff!) to blend until smooth. Creamy consistency is the goal!
- Return the pan to heat and stir in that heavenly heavy cream. Allow it to warm through without boiling, and taste test for seasoning adjustments. Mmm, perfection!
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if you’re feeling fancy, and watch it disappear faster than your favorite sitcom rerun!
There you have it! Your very own bowl of creamy tomato joy. Serve it with a side of grilled cheese for the ultimate comfort food experience. Enjoy!
