Ingredients
- 900 g (6 cups) fresh tomatoes, preferably Roma, quartered
- 1 (1) large onion, diced
- 3 (3) garlic cloves, minced
- 30 ml (2 tablespoon) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) smoked paprika
- 1 liter (4 cups) chicken or vegetable broth
- 240 ml (1 cups) heavy cream, optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Tomatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are slightly charred.
Sauté Onions and Garlic:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the onions and garlic, and sauté gently until soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine Ingredients and Simmer:
- Add the roasted tomatoes to the pot along with the chicken or vegetable broth.
- Simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer to a countertop blender.
Add Cream (if using):
- Stir in the heavy cream, if using, and heat gently until warmed through.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Serve with crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
Notes
- Tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are ideal for this recipe due to their low water content and rich flavour. However, any fresh, ripe tomatoes will work.
- Vegan Options: For a vegan version, use vegetable broth and substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or cashew cream.
- Smoked Paprika: This ingredient adds a unique smoky flavour to the soup. If you prefer, you can substitute it with regular paprika or leave it out entirely.
- Storage: This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave.
