Chef’s Soupe Du Jour Recipe

Soup Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

2. 2

   Add Tomatoes and Broth

   Add the fresh plum tomatoes to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, letting them soften. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

3. 3

   Simmer the Soup

   Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes. Add the fresh basil, salt, and pepper, and stir well.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, let it cool slightly before blending in batches.

5. 5

   Serve with Parmesan

   Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy!
