Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

7 cups chopped fresh tomatoes (with seeds and juice)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped carrots
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
¾ teaspoon white sugar
¾ teaspoon dried dill weed
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon celery salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 ½ teaspoons butter
5 large fresh basil leaves, or more to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, onion, carrots, and garlic in a large pot. Drizzle olive oil over tomato mixture; cook and stir over medium heat. Cover pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Mix chicken broth, salt, sugar, dill, black pepper, celery salt, and cloves into tomato mixture. Cover pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until soup flavors have blended, about 20 minutes.
  • Whisk milk and cornstarch together in a bowl until dissolved.
  • Heat butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk cornstarch mixture into melted butter until smooth and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Slowly pour cornstarch mixture into tomato soup, stirring until incorporated.
  • Pour half of the soup and basil leaves into a blender no more than half-full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree soup in batches until smooth. Return blended soup to pot and heat on low for 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon soup into serving bowls and top with Parmesan cheese and shredded basil.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I just shredded some cooked chicken and added it to the soup.

I'm a vegan, so I substituted vegetable broth for the chicken broth. It turned out great!

I made this soup in my slow cooker, and it turned out perfect! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and cooked it on low for 8 hours.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the pine nuts. It was a great substitution!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

This soup is a bit too acidic for my taste. I would add less lemon juice next time.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, so I substituted spinach instead. It turned out great!

This soup is a symphony of flavors! I love the way the sweetness of the tomatoes pairs with the acidity of the lemon and the bitterness of the arugula. It's a truly unique and delicious dish.
