Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup sour cream, for garnish
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
• 2 cups tortilla chips, for serving

How to Make Creamy Tomato Soup with Cilantro

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer to a blender in batches and blend until creamy.
6. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Heat the soup gently, but do not bring it to a boil. Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream, fresh cilantro, and a side of tortilla chips.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra depth of flavor, roast your tomatoes before adding them to the soup.
• Adjust the creaminess by adding more or less heavy cream according to your preference.
• If you like a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes when you sauté the onion.

Easy Variations

• Use fresh tomatoes instead of canned for a summer twist.
• Swap heavy cream for coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
• Add cooked pasta or rice for a heartier meal.
• Mix in cooked beans for added protein and texture.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled cheese sandwiches for a classic pairing.
• A fresh garden salad for a light side.
• Garlic bread for an extra indulgent touch.
• A sprinkle of croutons for added crunch.
