Easy Tomato Soup
Description
This easy tomato soup starts by melting unsalted butter to soften sweet yellow onion wedges before adding canned whole undrained tomatoes, minced garlic, chicken stock, kosher salt, and a pinch of sugar. Simmering the mixture for 30 to 40 minutes softens the vegetables and blends flavors. After cooking, the soup is pureed until smooth using a blender or immersion blender.
The flavors settle into a rich, creamy texture without added cream, relying on butter and cooked vegetables for body. Parmesan cheese grated on top adds savory depth, while fresh basil contributes brightness and herbaceous contrast. The recipe’s straightforward technique produces a classic tomato soup that can be enjoyed plain or enhanced by these garnishes.
