Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Tomatoes and Broth

  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon sugar or honey (optional, to balance acidity)
  • 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Finishing Touches

  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional, for creamy version)
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Build the tomato base: Add the tomato paste to the pot and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to deepen the flavor and integrate the paste well.
  3. Simmer the soup: Pour in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes with their juices and the broth. Add sugar or honey if using, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, dried basil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything well to combine.
  4. Cook low and slow: Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes to allow all flavors to meld together fully.
  5. Blend until smooth: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy.
  6. Finish and serve: Stir in the heavy cream if you prefer a creamy version. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or omit it entirely.
  • If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half the soup and mix with the remaining chunks.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes based on your preferred spice level.
  • This soup pairs excellently with grilled cheese or crusty bread for dipping.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
