Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups tomatoes, chopped (or 2 cans diced tomatoes)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the chopped tomatoes or canned diced tomatoes along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes to develop flavors.
  3. Puree Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it achieves a smooth consistency. Ensure there are no large tomato chunks remaining.
  4. Add Cottage Cheese: Stir in the cottage cheese, blending continuously with the immersion blender until fully incorporated and the soup is creamy and smooth.
  5. Season Soup: Add sugar if desired to balance acidity from the tomatoes, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving for an aromatic touch.

Notes

  • For a richer texture, use full-fat cottage cheese.
  • You can substitute fresh tomatoes with canned diced tomatoes when fresh are not available.
  • Adjust the sweetness with sugar depending on tomato acidity.
  • This soup can be served warm or chilled as a refreshing dish.
  • Use an immersion blender carefully to avoid splatters, or blend in batches using a regular blender.
