5-Ingredient Tomato Soup
The 5-Ingredient Tomato Soup is a simple and satisfying soup made with just five basic ingredients: ripe tomatoes, onions, garlic, vegetable broth, and olive oil. Perfect for warming up on chilly days or enjoying as a light lunch.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cans 28 ounces each whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Add the canned tomatoes (with their juices) to the pot, breaking them up with a spoon or spatula.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.
- Serve the tomato soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of cream if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Feel free to customize the soup with your favorite herbs and spices, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, for a unique flavor twist.
- If you prefer a creamier soup, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk before serving.
