Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids

  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Cook Vegetables: In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down, about 10 minutes.
  2. Blend Smooth: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the cooked vegetables until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture in batches to a blender and blend until creamy.
  3. Simmer and Serve: Return the blended soup to the pot if needed and stir in the vegetable broth and cream. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes to combine the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute the cream with coconut milk or a plant-based cream.
  • You can roast the tomatoes before adding for a deeper flavor.
  • Serve with croutons or fresh basil for garnish.
