Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion, yellow, chopped
  • Garlic clove, chopped
  • pounds Cherry Tomatoes, washed and sliced in half
  • 1 Bullion Cube, vegetable
  • ¾ teaspoon Kosher Salt (Diamond Crystal if possible)
  • ¼ teaspoon Freshly ground pepper
  • ¼ cup Heavy cream, or plant-based cream
  • 1 cup Fresh Cherry Tomatoes, cut in half for garnish if desired
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme or basil leaves, for garnish if desired
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil, for garnish if desired

Instructions

  • In a soup pot over medium heat, add the olive oil, onions and garlic and cook, stirring often so it doesn't burn or brown, about 7-8 minutes.
    Add in the cherry tomatoes with all their juice and seeds. Crumble the bullion cube up with your fingers and add it in too.
  • Simmer the mixture on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have released their liquid, about 25 minutes.
    Puree the soup using an immersion blender, or do so in batches (let the mixture cool first) in a food processor or blender.
    Return the pureed soup back to the pot, then add the salt, pepper and cream, and heat on medium until the soup is warmed through.
  • Serve with chopped fresh cherry tomatoes, yogurt and fresh herbs, if desired.
    To make a quick yogurt sauce, mix a couple of tablespoons plain yogurt with a little water. If it's too heavy, it'll sink. Just add a bit more water and whisk with a fork to drizzle on top.

Notes

  • If you plan to puree the soup in your food processor or blender, do so in batches and let the mixture cool down before you start.
  • Use plant-based cream instead of regular if you'd like
  • Use a chicken bullion cube if you'd like instead of vegetable
  • If you don't have any bullion cubes and don't want to buy any, use a couple of tablespoons of mellow miso paste instead.
