A rich and creamy tomato soup made with wholesome cottage cheese, fresh tomatoes, and fragrant basil, perfect for a comforting, healthy meal that’s both easy to prepare and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups tomatoes, chopped (or 2 cans diced tomatoes)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth

Creaminess & Seasoning

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil and sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add tomatoes and broth: Stir in the chopped or canned tomatoes with their juice and the vegetable broth. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Simmer the soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Puree the soup: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the soup until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no large chunks remain.
  5. Incorporate cottage cheese: Add the cottage cheese to the soup and continue blending with the immersion blender until it is fully incorporated and the soup has a silky, creamy texture.
  6. Season the soup: Taste the soup and stir in sugar if desired to balance the acidity. Season generously with salt and pepper to your preference.
  7. Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with fresh basil leaves. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or canned tomatoes depending on availability and preference.
  • For a smoother texture, strain the soup after blending.
  • The sugar is optional but helps balance the acidity of the tomatoes, especially if using canned tomatoes.
  • This soup can be served hot or chilled as a refreshing summer dish.
  • Use low-fat or regular cottage cheese based on your dietary preferences.
  • To make the soup vegan, substitute cottage cheese with silken tofu or a vegan cream alternative.
