A velvety, comforting tomato soup made from fresh tomatoes, finished with a splash of cream and freshly wilted spinach.
There is nothing quite like a steaming bowl of Creamy Tomato and Spinach Soup on a chilly evening. If you have ever wondered whether tomatoes and spinach belong together, the answer is a resounding yes! The natural, bright acidity of the tomatoes pairs flawlessly with the earthy, delicate flavor of fresh spinach. This Creamy Tomato and Spinach Soup recipe takes advantage of your fresh, vibrant produce to create a comforting meal that is both healthy and deeply satisfying. By simmering fresh tomatoes until they break down and sweeten, you create a robust, flavorful base that canned soup simply cannot match. Then, we blend it into a velvety smooth puree before gently stirring in the fresh spinach right at the end. This crucial technique ensures the spinach gently wilts into the hot broth without overcooking, maintaining its gorgeous dark green color and essential nutrients. A touch of cooking cream rounds out the sharp notes of the tomatoes, offering a luxurious mouthfeel that makes every spoonful feel like a warm hug. Whether you are serving this Creamy Tomato and Spinach Soup alongside a gooey grilled cheese sandwich made with your wholewheat bread and mozzarella, or simply enjoying it on its own, it is the perfect way to utilize those highly perishable ingredients sitting in your fridge. The depth of flavor developed from just a few simple, wholesome ingredients will make this a regular comfort food rotation in your kitchen!
Ingredients
- 800 g Tomatoes (about 6 medium tomatoes)
- 100 g Spinach (about 4 cups loosely packed)
- 1 medium White Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Broth Powder
- 60 ml Cooking Cream
- 1 tsp Sea Salt (to taste)
- 0.5 tsp Black Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- 1Roughly chop the tomatoes and white onion, and mince the garlic.
- 2Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped white onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
- 3Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4Add the chopped tomatoes, vegetable broth powder, sea salt, black pepper, and 2 cups of water (about 475ml). Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- 5Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes are completely broken down and soft.
- 6Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender (or transfer in batches to a stand blender).
- 7Return the blended soup to low heat. Pour in the cooking cream and stir until well combined.
- 8Add the fresh spinach to the pot. Stir gently for 2-3 minutes just until the leaves are fully wilted but still bright green.
- 9Taste and adjust the seasoning with more sea salt or black pepper if necessary. Serve hot!
Chef's Tips
- •If your tomatoes aren't very ripe and sweet, you can add a small pinch of white sugar to balance the acidity.
- •To make it an even heartier meal, serve this alongside a grilled mozzarella sandwich made with your wholewheat bread.
- •Be careful not to boil the soup once the cream is added, as dairy can split if boiled vigorously.
