The Best Cozy Creamy Tomato Soup

• Made with fresh, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor
• Cozy and comforting with a creamy finish
• Lightly spiced with cayenne and Worcestershire for a little kick
• Easy to make in one pot. I use my favorite Le Creuset Dutch Oven(linked here).
• Perfect for pairing with grilled cheese or fresh baguette

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Olive oil
• 8 large fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
• Two tablespoons of tomato paste
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth (or 2 spoonfuls of Better Than Bouillon + 4 cups water)
• 1 spoon of sugar (balances the acidity)
• Splash of white wine (optional but adds depth!)
• 2 cups half & half
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• Dash of cayenne pepper
• Dash Herbs de Provence
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Butter & flour to make a roux (for that creamy, thick texture)
• Fresh basil to top it off 🌿

How to Make The Best Cozy Creamy Tomato Soup

1. Sauté the veggies
   In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
2. Add tomatoes
   Toss in the fresh tomatoes, tomato paste and sugar. Let them cook down until softened (about 10-15 minutes). Add the herbs de provence, a splash of white wine and simmer a few more minutes.
3. Pour in the broth
   Add vegetable broth and bring everything to a boil. Lower heat and let it simmer for 40 minutes.
4. Blend until smooth. (Tip: You can also just mash it a bit and leave it chunky for a more rustic soup.)
   Use an immersion blender (or carefully transfer to a regular blender in batches) and blend until creamy and smooth.
5. Make the roux
   In a separate small pan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until golden, then stir it into the soup.
6. Cream it up!
   Add half & half, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer on low for 15 more minutes to thicken and meld flavors.
7. Serve hot
   Ladle into bowls and top with torn fresh basil. Optional: a swirl of cream or grated parmesan. Serve with crusty bread or a melty grilled cheese!

Tips for the Coziest Tomato Soup Ever

• Don’t skip the sugar, it really balances the acidity from the tomatoes.
• If tomatoes aren’t in season, you can use high quality canned San Marzano tomatoes.
• The cayenne adds a little heat, adjust to your liking.
