Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh dill
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup heavy cream (optional)
- 4 for garnish (optional) fresh dill sprigs
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the canned tomatoes with their juices and break them up slightly using a wooden spoon or spatula.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine.
Add the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
Stir in the fresh dill and remove the pot from heat.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer it in batches to a countertop blender, but be careful with the hot liquid.
If desired, stir in the heavy cream for added richness.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed with additional salt or pepper.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh dill sprigs, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
