How to Make Silky Summer Tomato Soup With Spinach Coulis

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the tomatoes, basil, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened.
  3. While the soup simmers, prepare the spinach coulis: Steam or sauté the spinach until wilted. Puree the spinach with a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Carefully transfer the tomato mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Return the pureed soup to the saucepan and heat through. Do not boil.
  6. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls. Drizzle each serving with the spinach coulis. Garnish with fresh basil leaves (optional).
