5 Ingredient Tomato Soup
Description
The 5 Ingredient Tomato Soup begins by sautéing onions in butter until softened, enhancing their sweetness. Garlic adds a gentle aroma before canned crushed tomatoes and low sodium vegetable broth are added to form the base. Simmering the mixture allows the flavors to develop and meld together.
After simmering for 30 minutes, the soup is blended with an immersion blender until smooth and consistent in texture. The result is a creamy tomato soup with a balanced savory flavor from the aromatics and broth. Seasoning with salt and pepper adjusts the final taste.
This soup pairs well with a grilled cheese sandwich for a classic combination. It can be stored refrigerated for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Using a hand blender makes blending quick and avoids transferring hot soup in batches, simplifying cleanup.
