Tomato Soup
Description
This Tomato Soup starts by sautéing chopped onion and minced garlic in olive oil until translucent, building a savory base. Ripe chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, vegetable stock, sugar, salt, and pepper are added, then simmered for 30 minutes to soften and meld flavors. After cooling slightly, the soup is pureed until smooth, optionally garnished with chopped fresh basil for a herbal note.
The finished soup offers a smooth texture with the fresh sweetness and acidity of tomatoes tempered by the sugar and balanced seasoning. The onions and garlic provide depth, while the basil adds a fresh, aromatic touch. The cooking method delivers a classic style tomato soup that can be enjoyed alone or paired with bread or grilled cheese.
