Creamy tomato soup is a warm and smooth dish made from fresh tomatoes, broth, and light cream. It has a gentle sour taste from tomatoes and a soft texture from blending and cooking.

The soup feels light yet rich in flavor. It works well as a starter, light meal, or warm dish for daily dining.

We prepare it with simple ingredients and clear steps. The key is slow cooking and proper blending. When done right, all ingredients combine into one smooth bowl of comfort.

Ingredients With Exact Amounts

Here are the ingredients we need:

- Fresh tomatoes 500 g

- Chicken broth 250 ml (or 250 ml water + broth powder if needed)

- Fresh cream 50 ml for cooking + extra for decoration

- Onion 1/4 piece, finely chopped

- Butter 25 g

- Flour 1 tablespoon (about 10 g)

- Bay leaves 2 pieces

- Salt 3 g to 5 g, adjust to taste

- Water as needed for blending

We measure the ingredients before cooking. Having everything ready helps us cook smoothly without interruption.

Step 1 Prepare the Tomatoes and Onion

1. First, we wash the tomatoes under clean water.

2. We cut a small cross at the bottom of each tomato. Then we place them in hot water for about 1 minute. After that, we remove the skin. This makes the texture smoother.

3. Next, we cut the peeled tomatoes into small cubes.

4. We peel and chop the onion into fine pieces.

5. This preparation step is important because it saves time later and helps flavors release faster.

Step 2 Build the Base Flavor

1. We place a pan on medium heat and add 25 g butter.

2. When the butter melts completely, we add the chopped onion.

3. We stir for about 2 to 3 minutes until the onion becomes soft and slightly golden. The aroma should smell light and pleasant.

4. Then we add the tomato cubes into the pan.

5. We stir everything together and cook for about 5 minutes. The tomatoes will release juice and soften.

6. After that, we add 2 bay leaves into the pan.

Step 3 Add Broth and Simmer

1. Now we pour in 250 ml chicken broth.

2. We stir gently and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

3. Once it starts boiling, we reduce the heat to low.

4. We cover the pan and let it simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.

5. During this time, the tomatoes break down and blend with the broth. The flavor becomes deeper and richer.

Step 4 Thicken the Soup

1. In a small bowl, we mix 1 tablespoon flour with 2 tablespoons water. We stir until the mixture becomes smooth without lumps.

2. We slowly pour this mixture into the soup while stirring.

3. This step makes the soup slightly thicker and smoother in texture.

4. We continue cooking for about 3 minutes while stirring.

5. Then we remove the bay leaves from the soup.

Step 5 Blend Until Smooth

1. We turn off the heat and let the soup cool slightly.

2. Then we pour the soup into a blender.

3. We blend at high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the texture becomes smooth and creamy.

4. If we prefer a smoother result, we can strain it through a sieve.

5. After blending, we pour the soup back into the cooking pan.

Step 6 Add Cream and Final Seasoning

1. We place the pan on low heat again.

2. We add 50 ml fresh cream into the soup and stir gently.

3. The cream gives a soft texture and balanced taste.

4. We add 3 g to 5 g salt and adjust according to personal preference.

5. We heat the soup for 2 to 3 minutes but do not let it boil strongly after adding cream.

6. Then we turn off the heat.

Step 7 Serve and Decorate

1. We pour the soup into bowls.

2. On top, we add a small amount of fresh cream for decoration.

3. We can draw simple shapes like a heart or simple lines with cream.

4. We serve it with bread on the side.

5. The warm soup and soft bread create a pleasant meal experience.
