Ingredients
- 7 cups chopped tomato about 1kg
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
- ½ cup chopped sweet onion about ½ onion
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups vegetable broth divided
- 1 large sprig fresh basil
- 1 tsp honey 5 g
- ½ tsp each smoked paprika, salt, and pepper
Instructions
- Cook Tomatoes: Dice your tomatoes and set aside. Heat oil in a medium pot over medium/high heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until onion softens and is fragrant. Stir in chopped tomatoes and continue cooking, uncovered, until tomatoes have mostly broken down, about 10 minutes.
- Blend: Add 1 cup of the broth then blend the mixture until smooth (using either a handheld immersion blender or by carefully transferring the mixture to a countertop blender). Return soup to the pot and add more broth, as needed, to reach a consistency to your liking.
- Flavor: Stir in basil, (stem and all) honey, and seasonings, cover, and cook for 5 more minutes. Fish out the basil before serving.
- Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with croutons* and drizzled with cream.

Notes
- * To make croutons: cut stale bread into small cubes. Liberally toss with oil and toast in a large saute pan over medium/high heat until golden brown.
- Storage: This soup can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Or, you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
