Tomato Soup
Servings: 2 | Time: 5 minutes
This is the tomato soup you make when you want comfort now. It comes together in five minutes, is completely foolproof, and tastes like it simmered all afternoon. The quiet secret is a splash of cream, which softens the tomatoes’ acidity and turns a simple pantry soup into something silky, soothing, and deeply satisfying—perfect for beginners and busy cooks alike.
Directions
Add tomato paste to a sauce pot and cook for 1-2 minutes on medium high heat.
Mix in tomato puree.
Add in dried basil.
Temper the cream (bring the cream to room temperature by adding small amounts of hot soup to the cream to raise the temperature).
Season with salt and pepper.
