Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups ripe fresh tomatoes, chopped or 1 (28 oz) can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup coconut milk (full fat for creaminess)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves or thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes, to build a flavorful base.
  2. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in fresh or canned tomatoes along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until silky smooth. Handle hot liquids with caution for safety.
  4. Stir in Creaminess and Seasonings: Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the coconut milk and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm gently until heated through.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish as desired with fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, or a swirl of coconut cream, then savor the comforting creamy texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe tomatoes for the sweetest, most flavorful soup.
  • Blend the soup in batches to ensure a smooth texture and avoid overflow.
  • Simmer the soup slowly to deepen the flavor without breaking down the texture.
  • Adjust the amount of coconut milk gradually to control the soup’s creaminess.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end of cooking to preserve their bright aroma.
