Easy Creamy Tomato Soup
Description
"Easy Creamy Tomato Soup" uses canned whole peeled plum tomatoes combined with tomato paste to create a robust tomato base. Onions and garlic are sautéed in olive oil and butter to develop savory depth. Flour is added to thicken the soup, then vegetable broth and tomato ingredients are simmered together to meld flavors.
After a 20-minute simmer, the soup is pureed to a smooth consistency using an immersion blender. Heavy cream is stirred in at the end to add richness and a creamy texture without overpowering the tomato flavor. The soup is seasoned with kosher salt, white pepper, and a touch of sugar to balance acidity.
This tomato soup is classic in style and texture, perfect served with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich. The balance of cooking steps ensures a silky, comforting soup that highlights the natural sweetness and acidity of tomatoes.
