How to Make It
Alright, let’s plunge into making this cozy tomato soup that’s basically a hug in a bowl. Grab that medium-sized white onion and slice it up nice and thin. Toss it into a large saucepan over medium-high heat and let it do its thing until it’s all golden and caramelized—this part smells so good, you might find yourself hovering nearby like a tomato soup paparazzi.
While the onion is getting its glow-up, finely chop those 2 cloves of garlic and add them to the pan. Give it a stir, and once the garlic softens (no burnt bits, please), turn the heat down low and dump in your 6 ripe salad tomatoes along with 2 tins of plum tomatoes. Sprinkle in a teaspoon of oregano or mixed herbs, pop in 2 bay leaves, and don’t forget a pinch of salt and black pepper to keep things lively.
Now, bring this tomato party to a boil, then cover it up and let it simmer on low for about 10 minutes. This is the perfect time to resist the urge to stir obsessively—patience is a virtue here.
Once time’s up, pull out the bay leaves (they’ve done their job) and grab your stick blender for the magic moment. Blend the mixture until it’s as smooth and creamy as your favorite plant-based latte foam. Give it a taste test and add more salt or pepper if it’s feeling shy on flavor.
For the finishing touch, melt a few tablespoons of the solid coconut milk in a frying pan—yes, the coconut milk can be a little diva—and then swirl some of that creamy goodness into each bowl. You’re left with a soup that’s silky, rich, and totally vegan-friendly, perfect for any plant-powered soul craving comfort food. Cheers to that!
Remember to pair this comforting dish with a good source of B12 supplements to ensure you’re meeting your nutritional needs.
