Ingredients for 8 Minute Creamy Tomato Soup

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Yellow Onion
  • Italian Style Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken stock (or vegetable stock for vegetarian option)
  • Heavy Cream
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)

How to Make 8 Minute Creamy Tomato Soup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium, finely chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add 28 ounces of canned crushed tomatoes, 1 cup of chicken stock (or vegetable stock), and 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the saucepan.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender, food processor, or use an immersion blender to blend until completely smooth. (If using a regular blender, vent the lid to prevent pressure buildup.)
  6. Pour the soup into bowls. Top with a dollop of sour cream (optional) and enjoy immediately!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
