Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 6 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 1 serving crusty bread or croutons (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped ripe tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to break down.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste, vegetable broth, sugar, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender and blend in batches, then return it to the pot.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. If it’s too tangy, add a pinch more sugar.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of heavy cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if desired. Pair with crusty bread or croutons for extra texture.
