Tips

Cook the onion slowly until soft and sweet before adding the tomatoes. Taste the soup before adding all the sugar, since some canned tomatoes are sweeter than others, and blend it completely smooth for a velvety texture. A splash of olive oil and fresh basil on top finishes it well.

Kosher Notes

This tomato soup is pareve, so it can be served with a meat or a dairy meal. Use canned tomatoes and vegetable broth with a reliable hechsher. For a dairy meal, serve it with a grilled cheese sandwich or stir in a little cream.

Storage

The soup keeps in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and freezes well for 3 months. Reheat it gently and add a little water if it has thickened.
