Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil or Butter
  • 1 small Chopped Onion
  • 2 Minced Garlic Cloves
  • 3 Cups Fresh Tomatoes
  • 1 Cup Chicken or Vegetable Broth (low sodium)
  • ½ Cup Heavy Cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 tsp Fresh Basil
  • ½ tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Erythritol or Monk Fruit Sweetener
  • Parmesan cheese or fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • 1 Medium-sized saucepan or soup pot
  • 1 Blender (Immersion or Regular)
  • 1 Ladle
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 1 Knife and Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Saute The Aromatics: Take a medium saucepan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and saute it until translucent and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
  2. Add Tomatoes and Seasoning: Stir in the fresh tomatoes, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes to let the flavors develop.
  3. Pour in Broth: Add the chicken or vegetable broth and the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to mix the soup until smooth. If a regular blender is used, let the soup cool slightly before a combination in the batches.
  5. Add Cream: Return the soup to low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently until warmed through—don’t boil after adding cream.
  6. Taste and Balance: if needed taste your soup and adjust salt and sweetness with erythritol or monk fruit sweetener.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Let the soup rest for 5 minutes. Ladle into bowls, top with parmesan cheese or basil, and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use fire-roasted canned tomatoes for deeper flavor.
  • Add red pepper flakes if you like a spicy kick.
  • For dairy-free, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
  • Add a scoop of collagen peptides or unflavored protein powder to boost protein content without altering flavor.
  • Add keto cheese chips or almond flour crackers for a satisfying meal.
