Description

This Classic Tomato Soup recipe is a delicious and comforting dish that has been lightened up with the addition of Greek yogurt for creaminess. Perfect for a cozy meal on a chilly day!


Ingredients

Scale

Vegetable Base:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt


Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetable Base: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; cook until softened, about 8 minutes.
  2. Saute Aromatics: Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add canned tomatoes, vegetable broth, basil, oregano, sugar, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 25 minutes.
  4. Puree Soup: Remove bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer in batches to a blender.
  5. Finish Soup: Stir in Greek yogurt until creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm with herbs or bread.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, use milk instead of Greek yogurt.
  • To make the soup vegan, substitute coconut milk or omit yogurt entirely.
  • This soup freezes well for up to 3 months.
