Which tomato to use for tomato soup?

Feel free to use any variety of tomato, like heirloom tomatoes. The most important thing is that we use ripe, juicy, and sweet tomatoes. The flavor depends on that the most. We love using cherry tomatoes since they are sweeter, and they cook quicker.

METHOD

  • Garlic cream

    First, make the garlic cream. Peel the garlic cloves and slice them in half. Place a saucepan with olive oil over low heat and add the garlic. Increase the heat to medium-low and cook for about a minute or two, then pour in the milk and season with a pinch of salt. Lower the heat and cook for 10 - 15 minutes or until the garlic is soft and mushy. Remove from the heat and using an immersion blender, blend into a smooth, frothy cream. If the consistency is too thick, add additional milk.

  • tomato soup

    Make the tomato soup. Peel and dice the onions. Place a pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the diced onions and cook for about 5 minutes. Clean and chop the tomatoes. Add the brown sugar and tomato paste to the onions in a pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 2 - 3 minutes or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Add the chopped fresh tomatoes and basil and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 600 ml (2 cups + 1/2 cup) of boiling water. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer covered with a lid.
