Creamy Fresh Tomato Basil Soup
Enjoy a vibrant bowl of Creamy Fresh Tomato Basil Soup that balances the tanginess of ripe tomatoes with the creaminess of Greek yogurt and a hearty boost from cannellini beans. Fresh basil and a sauté of onions and garlic elevate this comforting soup to a gourmet level that's both satisfying and nourishing.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups chopped Fresh Tomatoes (approx. 300g)
2 cups Cannellini Beans (approx. 240g)
1.5 cups Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt (approx. 340g)
0.5 tablespoon Olive Oil
0.5 medium Onion, diced
2 Garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons chopped Fresh Basil
2 cups Vegetable Broth (approx. 240g)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped fresh tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to soften them.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed cannellini beans. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth but still retaining a bit of texture. (Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender and blend until smooth before returning it to the pot.)
Stir in the Greek yogurt and chopped fresh basil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Warm the soup gently on low heat, ensuring it does not boil to prevent yogurt curdling.
Serve warm and garnish with a few extra basil leaves if desired.
