Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic peeled and minced
- 2 pounds Roma tomato chopped, about 6-8 tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- ½ tsp thyme
- 1 tsp white sugar or more to taste, organic for vegan-friendly
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- ½ cup cream 15%
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Optional Garnishes
- basil chopped, fresh
- Pepitas
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large pot, over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
- Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir to combine, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the thyme, sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Cook for 2-3 more minutes.
- Add the broth. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to process the soup until it is a creamy consistency. (I like to leave mine just a little bit chunky.) If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer to a regular blender, process, and then return it to the pot.
- Stir in the cream. Add additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve garnished with the basil and pepitas.
