How to Make Sopa De Salsa Tomato Soup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 28 ounces (1 large can) crushed tomatoes, 1 cup salsa (your favorite kind!), and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced slightly and the flavors have melded.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in 4 ounces (1/2 package) cream cheese, a little at a time, until completely melted and smooth. Stir constantly to prevent lumps.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk (optional, for extra creaminess) and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Heat through gently for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or a pinch of sugar if desired.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with a paper-thin lemon slice and a fresh cilantro leaf per bowl. Enjoy with cooked shrimp, if desired!
