Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 26 1/2-ounce boxes vacuum-packed crushed tomatoes, or 10 cups canned crushed tomatoes
5 1/4 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
3 sprigs fresh oregano, plus more for garnish
1/2 cups half-and-half
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 6 minutes.
Add tomatoes, stock, and oregano, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer gently until thickened, about 45 minutes. Remove oregano sprigs.
Slowly add half-and-half, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with oregano, if desired. Serve hot.

Tips:

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well and rinse them before using.
Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many tomatoes to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the soup will be watery. Add the tomatoes in batches and cook them until they are softened before adding the next batch.
Use a good quality broth. The broth is an important part of the soup, so don't skimp on it. Use a good quality chicken or vegetable broth, or make your own.
Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil.

Conclusion:

This creamy tomato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
