TIPS FOR THE BEST CREAMY TOMATO SOUP
- Use Fresh Tomatoes: If possible, opt for ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma or San Marzano tomatoes are excellent choices.
- Blend for Smoothness: Use an immersion blender or a countertop blender to achieve a silky texture. Blend until completely smooth for that creamy finish.
- Use High-Quality Broth: A good vegetable or chicken broth will add depth to the soup. Homemade broth is ideal, but store-bought can work too.
- Season to Taste: Don’t forget to taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Serve with Toppings: Enhance the soup with toppings like fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, croutons, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for added texture and flavor.
