Categories     Easy

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 yellow onions ((3 cups finely chopped) )
3 garlic cloves ((1 Tbsp minced))
56 oz crushed tomatoes ((two, 28-oz cans) with their juice, preferably San Marzano)
2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (plus more to serve)
1 Tbsp sugar (or added to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (or to taste to combat acidity)
1/3 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated, plus more to serve)

EXCESSIVELY SIMPLE CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP



Excessively Simple Cream of Tomato Soup image

This is a very simple and quick recipe. I adapted this from a recipe I found elsewhere on the internet that included butter and cream. I found that recipe too rich, and so cut out those ingredients. Since this is a bare bones recipe, it is very easy to experiment with and add things to. In fact, it's very difficult to go wrong with this one. My favorite things to add include garlic powder, freeze dried oregano, and cayenne pepper. Feel free to share your experimentation! Also, if you are partial to cayenne pepper, I highly suggest adding it to this recipe when you have a sore throat. It won't irritate your throat going down and even sometimes helps temporarily relieve the soreness.
