Looking for a warm and comforting soup recipe? Look no further than this delicious and easy-to-make Creamy Tomato and White Wine Soup. Made with fresh, ripe tomatoes, a splash of white wine, and a creamy base, this soup is the perfect combination of tangy and savory flavors.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 pounds fresh tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped, for garnish
For the tomatoes, it's best to use fresh, ripe ones for the best flavor. Dicing them beforehand will make the cooking process smoother and faster.
Sautéing the onions and garlic in olive oil will release their natural flavors and create a savory base for the soup.
Garnishing with fresh basil leaves not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the soup's flavor.
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes and white wine and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes have broken down.
- Add the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture back to a simmer. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or transferring to a blender, puree the soup until smooth. Return to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped basil leaves.
