How to Make Tomato Soup Recipe
To make my tomato soup, I start by drizzling a bit of olive oil into a heavy bottomed pot, such as a Dutch oven set over medium heat.
To the olive oil, I add tomatoes and any garlic, if I’m using it.
Next, I pour in my chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, and add my seasonings of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
My recipe is a little spicy, which I much prefer to a bland tomato soup. But if you don’t like your tomato soup spicy, just cut back a bit on the black pepper and omit the red pepper flakes. Taste as you go with the black pepper to make it just perfect for your taste buds.
I let my soup cook for about 10 minutes and then use my immersion blender to make my tomato soup smooth and creamy.
Then, I love to add a swirl of cream to the top of my soup or even stir a bit into the bowl and top with a bit of fresh basil or parsley for garnish.
