Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans (28 ounces / 794 grams) whole peeled tomatoes (with juice)
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 medium onion, chopped
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon sugar (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking Fat:
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Gently melt butter in a spacious cooking vessel over medium heat, creating a warm foundation for the soup’s development.
- Introduce finely chopped onions, allowing them to soften and become translucent, releasing their delicate aromatics and sweetening the base.
- Pour in whole canned tomatoes with their natural juices, carefully fragmenting them using a wooden spoon or potato masher to create a rustic, textured landscape.
- Allow the tomato mixture to gently simmer, enabling the ingredients to harmonize and develop a rich, concentrated flavor profile while seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Transform the mixture into a velvety consistency using an immersion blender, ensuring a smooth and uniform texture throughout the soup. For those without an immersion blender, carefully transfer to a standard blender in controlled batches.
- Incorporate heavy cream and a touch of sugar, carefully balancing the soup’s flavor profile and enhancing its luxurious mouthfeel.
- Conduct a final taste assessment, adjusting seasoning as needed to achieve a perfectly balanced flavor spectrum.
- Permit the soup to gently warm through, allowing the cream to integrate seamlessly and create a cohesive, comforting dish.
- Serve immediately, optionally embellishing with a delicate cream swirl or freshly chopped herbs to elevate the visual and gustatory experience.
Notes
- Swap dairy for dietary needs by using coconut cream or cashew cream to make the soup vegan and lactose-free.
- Roast tomatoes before blending to intensify their natural sweetness and add a smoky depth to the soup’s flavor profile.
- Balance acidity by adding a pinch of baking soda during cooking to neutralize the tomatoes’ sharp taste and create a smoother texture.
- Create texture variations by leaving some tomato chunks or using fire-roasted canned tomatoes for a more complex, rustic experience.
