Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 onion, coarsely chopped 1 to 2 cloves garlic (optional) 2 (14-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1 1/2 cups Basic Chicken Stock, or water 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)

Directions

Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic (if using), stirring constantly, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add tomatoes, their juices, and stock. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.

Working in batches, transfer tomato mixture to a blender, food processor, or food mill. Puree tomato mixture (if using a blender, cover the lid with a kitchen towel while machine is running).

Return soup to a clean pot and set over low heat. Whisk in cream, if desired; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or transfer soup to a bowl set over an ice-water bath to cool completely. Transfer cooled soup to an airtight container and refrigerate. Reheat over medium heat until heated through.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5.0 stars       03/28/2020   My favourite classic tomato soup recipe. I've made it many times with no substitutions. All from pantry staples. So quick and easy.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       02/19/2019   Loved this quick and easy recipe. I had a friend coming over around lunch time and wanted to do a quick lunch with what I had in hand, so made some adjustments which turned out great. I used a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes plus a small bag of frozen roasted tomatoes from my garden last year (the only way to use good cherry tomatoes from your garden imo). I also had some vegetable stock in the fridge so used that instead of chicken stock. I added a half tsp of dried thyme and approx a tsp of dried basil (not ground). Add your S&P to taste, but I used about a half tsp kosher salt and several cranks of pepper. I used a deep soup pot and used my stick blender to blend it all. Am waiting for my friend to arrive. It is perfect as is but will add the cream when almost ready to serve and top with some fresh grated parm.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       10/02/2018   The perfect tomato soup recipe. I like fire roasted tomatoes in this, or san marzanos with parmesan.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       12/18/2017   Using fire-roasted tomatoes is way better for this soup. Too bland for me otherwise, but the kids like it either way.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       10/06/2017   perfect fall soup! I substituted whole tomatoes for canned and added 3 table spoons of Frank's hot sauce! I served this delicious soup with grilled cheese sandwiches  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/15/2015   I made this soup for my son after his wisdom teeth surgery. This soup was easy to make and all the ingredients are readily available in the pantry. It was delicious. I will absolutely make this again and again.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       12/08/2013   This soup is phenomenal! I've made it twice; the second time, I added basil - even better!!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/07/2012   My blender was on the fritz so I made a few changes; I used one sixteenth tsp garlic powder and one eight tsp onion powder and substituted whole tomatoes for crushed. My tomatoes were quite acid so I add half tsp sugar. It turned out perfect ; the first homemade tomato soup I ever liked. I can't wait to make it strictly according to Martha's recipe.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/01/2010   Delicious soup! A great way to make it creamy without using cream is to substitute soy milk for some of the stock.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/22/2009   great soup!!! -- i skipped on the cream, added some crushed cayenne pepper (quantity depends on if you like it spicy), and after you blend it all, added a cup of frozen corn.
