This rich, smooth Creamy Tomato Soup packs tons of flavor in each spoonful. Serve on its own or with a sandwich or salad for a satisfying lunch or dinner.
You are going to want to add this delicious soup to your regular lunch and dinner rotation, because it is so simple to make and only uses a handful of ingredients – most of which you probably already have on hand. It is a fantastic way to add tomatoes to your diet, which are high in vitamin C and beta carotene.
I use an immersion blender to puree the soup, but if you don’t have one, you can transfer the soup to a traditional blender and blend it in batches.
Important: Be sure to do the following when using a traditional blender to blend hot liquids:
- Be sure to only fill up the blender until it is halfway full, because any more than that can cause an accident.
- Remove the center insert in the lid of your blender to allow hot air to escape. Then keep your hand on top of the lid with a dish towel, keeping most of the hole covered, to avoid any splashes.
Serve this soup with my Tuna Melt Sandwiches, Simple Cornbread or Apple Avocado Spinach Salad for a complete, filling meal.
For this Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe, I recommend:
- Pot/Dutch Oven – This one is super affordable and the quality is excellent. I love using it to make soups and stews.
- Immersion/Hand Blender – This is the one I use and love! I have had mine for years and it is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I use it all the time to make soups and smoothies.
This rich, Creamy Tomato Soup packs tons of flavor in each spoonful. Serve on its own or with a sandwich or salad for a satisfying meal.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy (whipping) cream
- Optional garnishes: Extra cream and/or chopped parsley or basil
- In a large pot, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 4 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in tomatoes and broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a traditional blender and puree in batches, then return to pot.
Return to heat, stir in cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with a drizzle of cream swirled in and chopped parsley or basil if using.
To make this recipe vegan: Use vegan butter and substitute the heavy cream with canned full-fat coconut milk. Be sure to also use vegetable broth, not chicken broth.
