Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • Ripe tomatoes (fresh or canned) – about 4 cups, chopped or whole with juices
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced

Liquids & Creaminess

  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup soaked cashews (or 1/2 cup coconut milk as alternative)

Herbs & Seasonings

  • Handful of fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Fats

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Sauté Aromatics – Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until soft and translucent to build the flavorful base.
  2. Step 2: Add Tomatoes and Broth – Stir in ripe tomatoes (fresh chopped or canned with juices) and pour in vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing flavors to meld.
  3. Step 3: Blend Until Smooth – Transfer soup to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until silky smooth to achieve the creamy texture.
  4. Step 4: Stir in Creaminess – Add soaked cashews or coconut milk, stirring well. Return soup to pot and warm gently while combining the creamy element evenly.
  5. Step 5: Season and Serve – Season with salt, pepper, and fresh chopped basil. Taste and adjust seasonings, then ladle into bowls and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use ripe tomatoes for a naturally sweet and deep flavor.
  • Soak cashews overnight for an ultra-smooth creaminess.
  • Blending thoroughly is key for the signature silky texture.
  • Adjust broth quantity to control soup thickness.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to keep their flavors bright.
