Description
This Tomato Parmesan Soup combines sun-ripened tomatoes with aged cheese for a perfect balance of acidity and richness. With a velvety texture and robust flavor, it's comfort food and a sophisticated dish in one.
Ingredients
28 oz San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes
1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano (finely grated)
1 large Yellow Onio
4–6 cloves Fresh Garlic
3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 cups Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
Instructions
- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely diced onions and sauté for approximately 8-10 minutes until translucent
- Add the minced garlic and cook for only 60 seconds until fragrant
- Pour in the San Marzano tomatoes and crush them with a wooden spoon. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil, then simmer uncovered for 25 minutes
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth
- Remove from heat and whisk in the Parmigiano-Reggiano gradually. Stir in fresh basil and balsamic vinegar before final seasoning
Notes
Do not boil the soup after adding cheese to prevent clumping.
Freshly grate your cheese for best results.
Let the soup sit for 10 minutes before serving for enhanced flavor.
