Ingredients
- 8 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 10 basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the tomatoes. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut a small 'X' on the bottom of each tomato, and blanch them in the boiling water for about 1 minute. Immediately transfer them into a bowl of ice water. This process will help you easily peel the skins off. Once cooled, peel the tomatoes and roughly chop them.
Step 2
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mince the garlic.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and cook uncovered for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Add the basil leaves, black pepper, salt, and sugar to the pot. Stir well and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a stand blender in batches and blend until smooth.
Step 7
Return the pureed soup to low heat, and stir in the non-fat plain Greek yogurt. Heat gently, making sure not to bring the soup to a boil, to avoid curdling the yogurt.
Step 8
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil leaves, if desired.
