Panera Bread Tomato Soup Recipe
Description
The Panera Bread Tomato Soup Recipe starts by sautéing diced onion and minced garlic in olive oil until the onion becomes translucent, which builds a flavorful base. Peeled canned tomatoes are combined with chicken broth, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper, then simmered uncovered to thicken the broth and develop the tomato’s natural sweetness and herbaceous notes.
After simmering, heavy whipping cream is added before the soup is pureed smooth with an immersion blender. This creates a velvety texture and creamy mouthfeel that balances acidity. The soup is served warm, topped with shredded Parmesan cheese which adds a nutty and savory contrast.
This homemade version pairs well with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich to round out a comforting meal. It can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days and reheated gently to preserve texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 onion diced
- 1 Tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 cans tomatoes 28 oz cans, peeled
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoons oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese for serving, shredded
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil over medium high heat in a large pot or dutch oven. Add the garlic and diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent (5-8 minutes).
- Add in the peeled tomatoes, chicken broth, sugar, dried oregano, dried basil, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a low simmer. Cook uncovered for 12-14 minutes until the mixture has thickened (stirring occasionally).
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.
- Serve warm topped with parmesan cheese and enjoy!
- Notes:
- If you do not have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
