Classic Tomato Soup
Serve this Classic Tomato Soup piping hot with a grilled cheese sandwich for a comforting midweek dinner! I love ordering tomato soup when out at restaurants. And I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious and rich the outcome can be when made from scratch. Try making this recipe at home because it’s not harder than opening a can of tomatoes and beans, sautĂ©ing onions, and blending it all together. I find that canned tomatoes are best for this recipe. They have just the right balance of sweetness and acidity and add extra depth of flavor to this wholesome soup. This plant-based soup is super filling, rich, and creamy, too, yet it is cream-less. That means it is lower in calories and fat and is healthier for you.Â
To make this lightened-up version of a classic soup, you simply sauté some onions in a large pot or Dutch oven. Then add the tomato paste followed by canned tomatoes and vegetable broth and gently simmer for 30 minutes. Once the soup is cooked, blend it along with the beans, butter, sugar, and a few grinds of black pepper. If you want to add a fresh, herby flavor to the soup, add some basil leaves and briefly blend again. Serve in large bowls and enjoy!
