Creamy Tomato Soup
This Creamy Tomato Soup combines canned tomatoes, onions, and garlic with a touch of cream and wine for the ultimate cozy soup that's ready in less than an hour!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large sweet onions finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes blender pulsed
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 packed cup basil chifanade
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar optional, see notes below
Instructions
- Heat a large pot to a touch less than medium and add the butter, onions, and pinch of salt. Cook until very soft (about 10-12 minutes), lowering the heat and/or adding splash of water if they start to brown. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add the flour and cook until no longer white (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add the wine and bring to a boil for 1 minute while scraping the bottom of the pot to remove any brown bits.
- Next, add the low-sodium chicken stock and plum tomatoes and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer for and cook for 10 minutes.
- Next, add the cream. Stir and simmer until well incorporated (about 3 minutes).
- Taste test and adjust salt and pepper. If the soup is not sweet enough, add the optional sugar to taste. Mix in half the basil. For a soup with more texture, leave it as is. For a creamier soup use an immersion or countertop blender.
- Top each bowl with the remaining basil. Serve with grated parmesan cheese and top with garlic croutons if you like. Enjoy!
Notes
- Makes 6-8 large bowls.
- Sugar needs to be added according to taste. Some tomatoes will be much sweeter than others.
- If the soup is too thick just add water or low-sodium chicken stock to thin it out.
- Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
