Ingredients
Vegetables
Aromatics & Spices
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Peppercorns black, crushed
- 1 Bay Leaf
Instructions
Sauté Aromatics
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the bay leaf and crushed peppercorns. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add Vegetables
- Add the minced garlic, chopped carrots, and celery. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Simmer Tomatoes
- Add the chopped tomatoes, stir well, and add 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened.
Blend the Soup
- Carefully remove the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until completely smooth, or carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth. For a smoother texture, strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve.
Season and Serve
- Return the pureed soup to the pot (if using a regular blender). Stir in salt to taste. Heat through gently. Garnish with fresh cream, croutons, and fresh coriander before serving.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Tomato Soup
- For a richer flavor, roast the tomatoes in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-30 minutes before adding them to the soup.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
- If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes. Just make sure to drain them well before using.
- For a creamier soup, stir in a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk at the end.
