Hello, busy bees! Last night, I wanted to whip up something special for dinner, something that would fill our tummies with love. That’s when the idea of making my Tomato Soup Recipe struck me. 🍅
In a large pot, I heated some olive oil and sautéed the chopped onions and garlic until they turned translucent and fragrant.
Next, I added the fresh tomatoes to the pot and cooked them until they started to soften. Then, I poured in the vegetable broth, ensuring it covered the tomatoes.
I let the soup simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Once the tomatoes were tender, I used a blender to puree the soup until it was smooth and creamy.
To make the soup extra creamy and cheesy, I stirred in the heavy cream and added a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. The creamy texture and cheesy goodness were simply irresistible. 🧀
I seasoned the Tomato Soup with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. After a final taste test, I ladled the soup into bowls and garnished each serving with a sprinkle of fresh basil.
And there you have it – Cheesy Tomato Soup that’s perfect for any day of the week. The rich tomato flavor combined with the creaminess of the cheese made it an instant family favorite. Happy cooking and happy eating, busy bees! 🐝
