Fresh Tomato and Carrot Soup Recipe

Tomato and carrot Soup

Rich, comforting flavors of tomatoes and carrot soup from fresh ingredients. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh carrots
  • 1 small-sized yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbps olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cloves powder
  • 2 cups water + 1 chicken bouillon or
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup cream

Instructions

  1. Over medium heat, sautee garlic and onion in olive oil and butter for a couple of minutes.
  2. Add tomatoes and carrots. Stir until completely mixed.
  3. Add salt, clove powder and sugar and a cup of water (or chicken broth).
  4. Let simmer until vegetables are soft (about 20 minutes).
  5. Puree the soup using an immersion or countertop blender.
  6. Strain using a rough mesh or strainer and discard the lumps.
  7. Add the rest of the chicken stock (or water and bouillon) and cream, then simmer once again, stirring occasionally, for another 15 minutes.
  8. Serve with a dash of dried basil leaves.
  9. Tip: I add 2 tablespoons of quick-cooking oatmeal after step 6 if I want the soup to be a little thicker. This will add about 5 minutes of simmer time to the soup.
