Basil Tomato Soup Recipe Instructions

Melt the butter in your favorite pot or Dutch oven. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and garlic and sauté on low heat until softened. Stir frequently to prevent the butter from burning or separating. Pour in the canned tomatoes and a generous pinch of baking soda into the vegetables. Bring to a low boil and simmer for about 5 minutes. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. Add oat milk and simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and dried basil to taste, and bon appétit! 😋 🍅

FAQs

What is the difference between creamy tomato soup and regular tomato soup?

The difference between creamy and regular tomato soup is the addition of cream, of course, along with the need to cook the creamed soup at a lower temperature to prevent it from burning.

What does baking soda do to tomato soup?

Because tomatoes can be tart when cooked in a soup, baking soda will cut through the tartness and give a creamier, milder flavor. We suggest that you add a large pinch of baking soda to this simple tomato soup recipe and feel free to add more to your liking if the tartness persists.

Tips for this Tomato Soup Recipe

If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender.
You can substitute cream instead of oat milk, but use a lesser amount since the cream is thicker, around 1 cup. It tastes more like a palomino sauce when served this way.
Serve this quick tomato soup hot or cold. It’s delicious either way. 😋
The flavors meld together so well as the soup sits in the refrigerator. A serving of this bowl of goodness the next day is the BOMB!
Great toppings for this simple, velvety tomato soup recipe include croutons, herbs, crunchy or soft breadsticks, shredded cheeses, goat cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, and a grilled cheese sandwich.
