Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe
Our go-to creamy tomato soup recipe. Adding parmesan and heavy cream makes it so satisfying and balances the acidity. It’s also a quick and easy 30-minute soup that keeps well in the fridge. We love this Tomato Basil Soup paired with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.

Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 yellow onions ((3 cups finely chopped) )
- 3 g arlic cloves ((1 Tbsp minced))
- 56 oz crushed tomatoes ((two, 28-oz cans) with their juice, preferably San Marzano)
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (plus more to serve)
- 1 Tbsp sugar (or added to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (or to taste to combat acidity)
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated, plus more to serve)
Steps
-
Heat a nonreactive pot or enameled dutch oven over medium heat. Add butter then add chopped onions. Sauté 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden. Add minced garlic and sauté 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add crushed tomatoes with their juice, chicken stock, chopped basil, sugar (or add sugar to taste), and black pepper. Stir together and bring to a boil then reduce heat, partially cover with lid and simmer for 10 minutes.
-
You can leave your soup with a chunky consistency, but if you like a blended/creamy soup, use an immersion blender to blend the soup in the pot to desired consistency or transfer to a blender in batches and blend until smooth (being careful not to over-fill the blender with hot liquid and pulse a few times initially to get it started), then return blended soup to the pot over medium heat.
-
Add 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese and return to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed and turn off the heat.*
-
Ladle into warm bowls and top with more parmesan and chopped fresh basil.
