My husband never loved tomato soup until he tried this Creamy Tomato Soup. The addition of parmesan and just 1/2 cup of cream makes it so satisfying. It’s also a quick and easy 30-minute soup that keeps well in the fridge. We love it all year round and whip up a batch any time we are craving

Ingredients for Tomato Basil Soup

Since this is a tomato-based soup, it is important to offset the acidity with some key ingredients. We use a combination of cream, parmesan, and a little sugar to balance the soup

Butter – use unsalted butter to sautee onions

Yellow onion – it seems like a ton of onion but it dissapears into the soup adding a balanced sweetness

Garlic – you’ll need 1 Tbsp minced from about 3 cloves

Crushed tomatoes – with their juice, preferably San Marzano tomatoes

Chicken stock – for the best flavor use homemade chicken broth

Basil – chop and add 1/4 cup fresh basil, plus more to serve. Basil leaves are easily bruised so chop by stacking a bunch of leaves then roll them into a log and cut into thin strips.

Sugar – It’s just 1 Tbsp, but necessary to combat the tomato acidity.

Black pepper – start with 1/2 tsp and add more to taste

Whipping cream – adds a creaminess to the soup and offsets acidity.

Parmesan cheese – adds saltiness to the soup and balances acidity. Adding parmesan adds enough salt and I usually don’t
