Tomato Basil Cup Recipe

Soup Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Start by washing the fresh tomatoes thoroughly. Remove the stems and cut them into quarters. Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

2. 2

   Sauté the Onion and Garlic

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add Tomatoes and Broth

   Add the quartered tomatoes to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Simmer the Soup

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and the flavors meld together.

5. 5

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.

6. 6

   Season and Serve

   Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to your preference. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
