Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 6 medium, roughly chopped ripe tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish) fresh cream (optional)
- 2 sprigs (for garnish) coriander leaves
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes until they soften, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, allow the soup to cool slightly and blend it in batches in a countertop blender.
Return the soup to the pot and reheat on low heat. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
Mix in the chopped fresh coriander leaves and let the soup simmer for another 2 minutes.
Serve the soup hot, optionally garnished with a swirl of fresh cream and a sprig of coriander for presentation.
