I adore homemade tomato soup! Not the creamy kind. I love tomato soup with grilled cheese/caramelized onion sandwiches – so no cream necessary. What a perfect dinner.
All you need to make this is an immersion blender (or a regular one if you don’t mind a huge mess) and easy-to-find ingredients you most likely have in your pantry.
Easy Tomato Soup
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 28 oz can of diced peeled tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken stock (I make mine with Better Than Bouillon)
- 1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped since you blend it later on
- ½ stick butter
- 1 heaping tsp dried basil (1 Tbsp fresh if you have it in the summer)
- 1 tsp granulated sugar (tomato + a little sugar makes everything better)
- Black pepper to taste.
- Salt to taste, although I need zero or only a tiny bit
Instructions
Dump everything together in a 4-quart pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and cover. Stir occasionally and cook for 20 minutes until the onion is soft.
Remove from the heat for a few minutes Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth and creamy. Season with more salt and pepper if desired.
