Creamy Tomato Soup

A smooth, comforting soup of ripe tomatoes and aromatics, finished with a touch of cream.

This classic soup begins by gently sautéing onion and garlic in olive oil, then simmering fresh or canned tomatoes with broth until they break down. After puréeing until silky, it’s enriched with evaporated milk and fresh basil.
