How to Make Simple And Creamy Tomato Soup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large stockpot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  3. Stir in 28 ounces of canned crushed tomatoes, 1 cup of chopped carrots, 4 cups of chicken stock, 2 bay leaves, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Carefully remove the bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let the soup cool slightly.
  7. Once cooled, carefully puree the soup using an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender in batches (vent the lid) and blend until smooth.

  9. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy!
