Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 4 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground for best flavor)
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 3 small yellow onions (diced, about 2 cups)
- 4 garlic cloves (finely minced)
Step 1: Caramelize the Onions
In a large pot, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium-low heat.
Add chopped onions, a pinch of salt, and some freshly ground black pepper.
Cook the onions until they are soft and caramelized, stirring occasionally for about 20-30 minutes.
This slow cooking will bring out their natural sweetness.
Step 2: Add Garlic and Deglaze
Once the onions are caramelized, add minced garlic to the pot and stir until the garlic becomes fragrant, which should take about 1 minute.
Pour in 1/2 cup of water and stir to deglaze the pot, making sure to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom.
Step 3: Add Tomatoes and Simmer
Stir in the remaining water along with chopped tomatoes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Allow it to cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are very soft and have broken down significantly.
Step 4: Blend and Serve
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it is smooth.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with your favorite toppings if desired.
Enjoy your warm, comforting tomato soup!
