Tomato soup is one of my most favorite things! It makes total sense, really. I love tomatoes and I love soup.
Here is my souper (har, har) simple tomato soup recipe:
Sweat one medium onion in a deep pot
Pinch of salt and pepper
Pinch of red pepper flake to taste
Add one 28 oz. can of whole San Marzano tomatoes
- I like to break them up just a little bit
Add one can 28 oz. can of water
-Bring to a simmer
Add a tsp of dried oregano
Allow to simmer on low for 30 minutes
After most of the water has cooked out I use a hand blender to puree the tomatoes and onions right in the pot
Add a whole bunch of fresh basil
Allow to simmer for 10 minutes
-I puree this one more time
Turn off the heat and add 1/4 cup of cream
Top with fresh basil leaves.
