Are you tired of bland store-bought tomato soups? Let’s shake things up by making a delicious, creamy tomato soup using just three simple ingredients. This recipe is not only quick and easy but also incredibly satisfying. Let’s embark on this culinary adventure together!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
1. Prep and Blanch the Tomato
Start by giving the tomato a good wash and making a small X-shaped cut at the bottom. This will help in peeling the tomato after blanching. Submerge the tomato in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer it to ice water to stop the cooking. Peel off the skin effortlessly once it has cooled down.
2. Boil and Blend
While the tomato cools, gently boil the milk in a separate pot, stirring continuously. Cut the peeled tomato into quarters and add it to the milk. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes, infusing the milk with a beautiful creamy red color.
3. Season and Serve
Add salt to taste and, for a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot. Pour the hot tomato soup into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil or sprinkle fresh basil, and savor every spoonful.
