Ingredients

  • For the soup:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 7 cups tomato, chopped
  • 2 cups vegetable broth, divided
  • 1 large sprig fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional, for serving:
  • basil leaves, to taste
  • heavy cream, to taste
  • croutons, to taste, store-bought or homemade

Directions

Step 1 -In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add the oil.

Step 2 -Add the onions and the garlic and cook, while stirring, until the onions soften and the mixture is fragrant, about 2-4 minutes.

Step 3 -Add the tomatoes to the onion mixture and cook, while stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have mostly broken down, about 10 minutes.

Step 4 -Add 1 cup of the broth to the tomato mixture and using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth soup.

Step 5 -Add the remaining broth, a little at a time, to the soup mixture and stir to combine until the soup reaches your desired consistency. You may not need all of the remaining broth.

Step 6 -Add 1 sprig of the basil, the honey, the paprika, the salt, and the black pepper to the soup, cover, and cook until the flavors fully meld together, about 5 minutes.

Step 7 -Remove and discard the basil spring from the soup.

Step 8 -Serve with the extra basil leaves, the heavy cream, and the croutons.
