Basic Tomato Soup

A quick, easy tomato soup recipe. Goes great with grilled cheese!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Course: Soup
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 16
Calories: 30kcal
Cost: 8

Ingredients

  • 2 28oz cans Peeled San Marzano Tomatos
  • 2 Onions
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper Ground Finely
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Chop the onions and garlic.
  • Add the onions to a stock pot with two tablespoons of olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon over medium heat until the onions brown. The more you can brown the onions, the more flavor they will add. I like to get a full caramelization which can take 25-30 minutes. If you want to save some time, it still will taste great with a light browning (5-10 minutes).
  • Stir in the garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
  • Add the two cans of tomatoes. Break up the tomatoes with a potato masher or a fork.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the butter until melted
  • Add 1 cup water, and bring back to a simmer
  • Take the pot off the heat, and use an immersion blender to blend to the texture you prefer. If you leave it slightly chunky, it will work as a pasta sauce or soup, but a like it blended until smooth.

Notes

The soup will freeze well!
