Step-by-Step Instructions for Fire Roasted Tomato Soup
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add one finely chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves for the last 30 seconds.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, cooking it for about 1 minute to enhance its flavor through caramelization. Mix this well with the softened onion and garlic.
- Add two cans of fire-roasted diced tomatoes along with 3 cups of vegetable or chicken broth. Season with sugar, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, dried basil, and oregano. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches in a countertop blender.
- Stir in ½ cup of heavy cream or coconut milk. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.

Notes
Use high-quality canned fire-roasted tomatoes for best flavor. Avoid overcooking the aromatics to prevent bitterness. Adjust seasonings to taste for balance. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
