Creamy, rich, and flavorful, this easy tomato soup is the perfect cozy recipe the whole family will love. Filled with bright tomato flavor, you wouldn’t believe the soup uses canned tomatoes. Ditch the canned soup because I promise this will quickly become your new cold-weather favorite.
Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1 yellow onion chopped
-
6 garlic cloves minced
-
2 cans whole peeled tomatoes
-
3 cups water or chicken stock
-
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
-
½ Teaspoon Uncle Bacon’s Sriracha House Blend
-
¾ cup heavy cream
-
Fresh basil chopped
Directions
In a large Dutch oven, combine olive oil and butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 5 minutes or until very fragrant and just starting to brown.
Add the tomatoes. Swirl the cans with some of the chicken stock to get the rest of the tomato juices and pour into the pot with the remaining stock. Stir in the sugar and black pepper. Bring to a boil, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue simmering for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
Using an immersion blender, pulse the soup to break up the tomatoes a bit or until your desired consistency. (I do not recommend transferring the soup to a high-speed blender as blending olive oil can turn it very bitter. Mash with a potato masher to break up the tomatoes.) Taste and add salt, if needed. Stir in the cream. Serve immediately topped with fresh basil.

Recipe Note
Don’t use a high-speed blender. Blending olive oil at a high speed can make it bitter, so I don’t recommend using a powerful, high-speed blender to puree the soup. If you don’t have an immersion blender and you want to blend the soup for a silky smooth texture, use vegetable oil, grapeseed oil or all butter instead. You can also use a potato masher instead to break up the tomatoes if you prefer a chunky soup.
