Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 cans of canned whole tomatoes (two 28 oz cans)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth, low sodium
  • 1½ cup cottage cheese, 2% MF
  • Pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Sauté onion: Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add diced onions and cook until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and salt: Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add kosher salt and deglaze the pot with a splash of vegetable broth if needed, scraping up any browned bits.
  3. Incorporate tomato paste and seasonings: Add tomato paste to the pot and cook for 1 minute. Stir in sugar and dried basil evenly to build flavor.
  4. Add tomatoes and broth: Pour in the canned whole tomatoes with their liquid and the vegetable broth. Cover the pot and let it simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust salt to taste at this stage.
  5. Blend soup with cottage cheese: Carefully transfer the hot soup in batches to a blender. Add cottage cheese and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. When blending hot liquids, ensure steam can escape safely by leaving the lid slightly ajar and covering the gap with a linen napkin.
  6. Serve and garnish: Pour the blended soup into bowls. Season with freshly ground pepper and garnish with optional parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

  • When blending hot soup, always leave room for steam to escape to prevent pressure buildup and potential spills.
  • If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half the soup and combine with the rest without blending.
  • Adjust sugar and salt according to your taste and the acidity of your canned tomatoes.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • Use low sodium vegetable broth to control the saltiness.
