30-minute creamy tomato basil soup - perfect for family dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 2 lb fresh tomatoes (about 4 to 5 medium)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Score a shallow X on the bottom of each tomato with a sharp knife. Gently place 2 or 3 tomatoes at a time in the boiling water for 10 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes to ice water to cool quickly. Peel and chop the tomatoes after draining them.
  • In a sturdy 3-quart saucepan, warm oil over medium heat. Saute onion for 3 to 5 minutes until tender. Add chopped tomatoes, broth, tomato paste, salt, nutmeg, and red pepper. Bring to a boil, then let it simmer for 5 minutes until the tomatoes are soft. Finally, mix in the whipping cream.
  • Use a blender or food processor to blend 2 1/2 cups of tomato mixture until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining tomato mixture. Pour the pureed mixture back into the saucepan and heat over medium heat until hot, stirring frequently. Serve each portion topped with basil.
