Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg (about 3.3 pounds) of ripe tomatoes
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream (optional)

Instructions

  • Use a large pot to heat olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and garlic, then cook until they turn translucent.
  • Blend in the tomato paste, sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes to elevate the flavors.
  • Add the ripe tomatoes (you can cut a small "X" on the bottom of each tomato to make peeling easier). Stir well and let them simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and let the mixture simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a regular blender, purée the soup until smooth.
  • Return the soup to the pot and add the fresh basil leaves. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • If you desire a creamier texture, stir in the heavy cream at this point.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve the Fridheimar Tomato Soup hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves or a dollop of sour cream.
