Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 6 medium, roughly chopped tomatoes
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup heavy cream (optional)
- 4 large, for garnish fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and stir well.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down.
Add sugar, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir and adjust seasoning to taste.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, purée the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, work in batches and be cautious with hot liquids.
Return the soup to the pot and heat gently. If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer texture.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
