Calories per Serving 134
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Tomatoes must be ripe
- 1 Medium Onion Chopped
- 500 mls Chicken Stock Use fresh if you have it or a stock cube will do
- 1 bunch Basil fresh or 2 tablespoon dried
- 10 g butter
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- 2 tsps Sugar
DISCLAIMER
I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
Instructions
- First chop the onions, it's not important to chop them very small as everything will be going into a blender later on.
- Soften the onion in the butter on a medium/low heat, we don't want them to brown, just soften.
- Cut the tomatoes into rough chunks and place them in the pan containing the heated stock, followed by the onions.
- Now roughly chop the basil and put that in the pan plus the salt, pepper and sugar.
- Bring to the boil, turn down heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Next you will need to blitz the mixture in a blender, then pass it through a fine sieve, helpng through with the back of a tablespoon.
- Serve hot or cold with a splash of cream or creme fraiche.

Hello Marye,
Nice to hear from you again. Yes the tomato soup has become a favourite of many of my followers, especially those like yourself, living in Spain where we certainly have the biggest choice of tomatoes. I hope you’re both keeping well.
Easy and tasty, this recipe is as good cold as it is hot. It’s a simple alternative to gazpacho, lots of flavour but less work. We used plum tomatoes and didn’t need to add the sugar. Thank you, Paul. This has become one of our favourites.
