5-Ingredient Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe
Description
This version of Creamy Tomato Soup relies on basic ingredients: unsalted butter, diced onion and carrot, canned San Marzano tomatoes, and unsalted chicken broth, along with kosher salt for seasoning. The butter gently sweats the diced onion and carrot to soften them, releasing their natural sweetness without browning.
Once softened, the tomatoes and chicken broth are added along with further salt, then brought to a boil before simmering for about 25 minutes. This allows the carrots to become very soft and the tomatoes to break down fully, melding their flavors into a harmonious base.
The mixture is then carefully pureed until smooth, yielding a creamy texture with a natural balance of savory and sweet tomato essence enhanced by the carrots and aromatic onions. Finally, the soup is returned to the pot to adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired before serving.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 cup onion diced
- 1 cup carrot chopped
- 2 tsp kosher salt divided
- 1 oz San Marzano Tomatoes canned
- 3 cups chicken broth unsalted
Instructions
- Add butter to a large stockpot. Turn the heat on medium. Once the butter melts, add the onion, carrot and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sweat the veggies until slightly softened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, chicken broth and remaining salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 25 minutes or until the carrots are super soft and the tomatoes have broken down.
- Carefully transfer to a blender to puree. Puree until smooth. Transfer back to the pot and season to taste with salt and pepper.
