Equipment
Ingredients
- 7 cups tomato chopped
- 1 Tbsp olive oil any oil will work
- ½ cup yellow onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups vegetable broth divided
- 2 Tbsp fresh basil chopped
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Dice your tomatoes and set aside.
- Heat oil in a medium pot over medium/high heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until onion softens and is fragrant.
- Stir in chopped tomatoes and continue cooking, uncovered, until tomatoes have mostly broken down, about 10 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of the broth then blend the mixture until smooth (using either a handheld immersion blender or by carefully transferring the mixture to a countertop blender). Return soup to the pot and add more broth, as needed, to reach a consistency to your liking.
- Stir in basil, honey, and seasonings, cover, and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with croutons and drizzled with cream.

Notes
- Roma tomatoes work well for this recipe, but you can use any variety of tomato you have on hand (or better yet, from your garden!)
- I prefer to use a handheld immersion blender so that I don’t have to transfer everything out of the pot, but a countertop blender works just as well.
