Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams ripe fresh tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium-sized yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 500 milliliters vegetable broth
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 milliliters heavy cream (optional)
Instructions
Wash the fresh tomatoes thoroughly and slice an 'X' on the bottom of each tomato using a sharp knife.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and carefully add the tomatoes. Blanch them for 1-2 minutes, then transfer them to an ice water bath to cool.
Peel the skins off the tomatoes and roughly chop them, removing the cores if necessary.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves, then sauté them in the olive oil until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the fresh basil leaves, sugar, salt, and black pepper, then use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender in batches and blend until creamy.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer consistency.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with extra basil leaves or a drizzle of olive oil. Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
