  • Super Simple and Quick: Seriously, this recipe is a breeze. Just toss the ingredients into your Thermomix, let it do its thing, and voilĂ ! You've got a steaming bowl of creamy tomato soup in no time.
  • Customizable to Your Liking: Want to add a little kick? Throw in some chili flakes. Prefer a sweeter soup? Add a touch of honey. This recipe is a blank canvas for your culinary creativity. Don't be afraid to experiment and make it your own!
  • Perfect for Any Occasion: Whether it's a cozy weeknight dinner, a fancy lunch with friends, or a comforting meal when you're feeling under the weather, this creamy tomato soup is always a winner.

Gathering Your Ingredients: The Fresher, the Better

Before we get started, let's make sure we have all our ingredients ready. Remember, the key to amazing tomato soup is using the best quality ingredients you can find. Here's what you'll need:

  • Fresh Tomatoes: These are the star of the show, so choose ripe, juicy tomatoes with a deep red color. Roma tomatoes are a great option, but any variety will work.
  • Onion and Garlic: These aromatic veggies add a savory depth of flavor to the soup. Don't skimp on them!
  • Vegetable Broth: This provides the liquid base for the soup. You can use store-bought broth or, even better, homemade broth for an extra boost of flavor.
  • Heavy Cream: This is what makes the soup so incredibly creamy. If you're looking for a lighter option, you can substitute it with half-and-half or even coconut milk (for a vegan version!).
  • Olive Oil: This adds a richness and depth of flavor to the soup. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
  • Fresh Basil: This adds a bright, herbaceous note that perfectly complements the tomato flavor. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil instead.
  • Salt, Pepper, and Sugar: These are essential for seasoning the soup and balancing the flavors. A pinch of sugar helps to cut the acidity of the tomatoes.

Step-by-Step: Making Creamy Tomato Soup in Your Thermomix

Alright, let's get down to business! Here's how to make this amazing Thermomix creamy tomato soup:

  1. Prep the Veggies: Roughly chop the onion, garlic, and tomatoes. No need to be perfect here, the Thermomix will take care of the rest.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the olive oil, onion, and garlic to the Thermomix bowl. Sauté for a few minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add the Tomatoes and Broth: Add the chopped tomatoes and vegetable broth to the Thermomix bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar.
  4. Cook Until Tender: Cook the soup for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are very tender.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: This is where the Thermomix magic happens! Blend the soup until it's silky smooth and creamy. Be careful when blending hot liquids, and start on a low speed before gradually increasing to high.
  6. Stir in the Cream and Basil: Stir in the heavy cream and chopped fresh basil. Heat through gently, but don't boil.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a dollop of cream, a sprinkle of fresh basil, or a swirl of olive oil. Serve with some crusty bread for dipping, and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks for Thermomix Tomato Soup Perfection

Want to take your Thermomix creamy tomato soup to the next level? Here are a few tips and tricks to help you achieve tomato soup perfection:

  • Roast the Tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before adding them to the soup will intensify their flavor and add a touch of sweetness. Simply toss the tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast in a preheated oven until softened and slightly caramelized.
  • Add a Touch of Balsamic Vinegar: A splash of balsamic vinegar at the end of cooking will add a tangy complexity to the soup.
  • Use Canned Tomatoes: If you don't have access to fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes instead. Just be sure to use good quality canned tomatoes and drain off any excess liquid.
  • Make it Vegan: To make this soup vegan, simply substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or another plant-based cream. You can also use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Freeze for Later: This soup freezes beautifully, so feel free to make a big batch and freeze it for later. Just be sure to let it cool completely before freezing, and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Variations: Spice It Up or Sweeten It Down

The beauty of this recipe is that it's so versatile. Here are a few ideas for variations:

  • Spicy Tomato Soup: Add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to give the soup a kick.
  • Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup: Roast some red peppers along with the tomatoes for a smoky, sweet flavor.
  • Tomato and Carrot Soup: Add some carrots to the soup for a touch of sweetness and added nutrients.
  • Creamy Tomato and Basil Soup: Use plenty of fresh basil for a bright, herbaceous flavor.
  • Garlic Lover's Tomato Soup: Add even more garlic!
