Here is a simple, creamy tomato soup recipe that everyone will enjoy. First you will need to heat up oil and butter together over medium heat, you do not want it to brown because that will throw off the flavor. In the pan with the butter and oil add in the vegetables. Some people like to season the soup once it has cooked, but we like to start seasoning the vegetables as they cook because it helps build the flavor. Once you have let the vegetables sweat you are going to deglaze the pan with the tomato juice. Next, add the crushed tomatoes and sauce. Bring to a boil. Once it has boiled for a minute add in the chicken broth and simmer for 45 minutes. Warm up the cream but do not bring to a boil and then add the soup puree. Enjoy! Chef Fernando gives great pointers on how to make this a very flavorful and creamy soup. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
