Description
This frozen whole tomatoes soup recipe turns frozen garden tomatoes into a rich, cozy meal with minimal ingredients. It’s perfect for quick dinners or lunch prep.
Ingredients
6 cups frozen whole tomatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
Fresh basil or thyme for garnish
Optional: 1/4 cup cream or butter for richness
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté onions and garlic until golden.
2. Add frozen whole tomatoes directly to the pot (no thawing required).
3. Cook for 10–15 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes as they soften.
4. Pour in broth and add salt, pepper, and optional sugar.
5. Simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes until flavors meld.
6. Blend with an immersion blender for a smooth texture, or leave it chunky for a rustic feel.
7. Stir in cream or butter if desired.
8. Serve hot with fresh herbs and crusty bread.
Notes
No need to peel or thaw tomatoes before cooking.
Roasting the frozen tomatoes before adding enhances the flavor.
Soup pairs well with grilled cheese, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
