Creamy Tomato Soup

配料

2 lbs Campari tomatoes (cut in half)

8 oz sun golden cherry tomatoes

1 small or 1/2 large sweet onion (roughly chop)

1/4 c. Fresh basil

1 sprig thyme

1 sprig rosemary

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp white balsamic vinegar

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp honey

1 head garlic (roasted)

2 c. chicken bone broth

2/3 c. Heavy cream (or whole milk)

1/2 tsp paprika

步骤

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, onions, basil, thyme, rosemary, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast 18–20 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Transfer roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor with honey, roasted garlic, and bone broth. Blend in batches if needed, or use an immersion blender directly in a large pot.

Add the pan juices and heavy cream, then blend until smooth and creamy.

Pour soup into a pot (if not already) and stir in paprika. Simmer on low 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve warm.

备注

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT skip roasting — it deepens the tomato flavor and adds a subtle sweetness.

Always blend in batches to avoid overflow, or with an immersion blender right in the pot (just be careful of scratching the pot).

Save those pan juices! They hold tons of flavor and add body to the soup. It’s liquid gold!

For a thicker soup, simmer uncovered for 10 extra minutes.

Roast the garlic ahead of time — it deepens the flavor dramatically. My roasted garlic recipe can be found here.

Always taste and adjust salt at the end — roasted tomatoes can vary in sweetness.

Avoid boiling after adding cream — it can cause the soup to separate.

Can I Substitute?

Tomatoes: Use two 28-ounce cans of whole peeled or fire-roasted tomatoes if fresh aren’t in season. I would skip roasting the tomatoes here though and just roast the onions and garlic

Bone Broth: Substitute with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.

Heavy Cream: Swap with half-and-half or coconut milk for a dairy-free option.

Herbs: Use dried herbs (½ teaspoon each of basil, thyme, rosemary) if fresh aren’t available.

Honey: Replace with maple syrup, or a pinch of sugar, to balance acidity.
