Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried basil
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for adjusting consistency)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour to form a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture smells slightly nutty but does not brown.
Add the tomato paste to the roux and whisk until well combined and smooth.
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the granulated sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried basil. Mix well to combine.
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and concentrated.
If the soup is too thick, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of water to achieve the desired consistency.
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before using in recipes or storing.
Store the condensed tomato soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
