Chef Sven’s Easy Homemade Tomato Soup Recipe

Are you looking for a comforting and delicious soup recipe? Look no further! In this recipe, I will show you how to make my easy homemade tomato soup that is perfect for cold winter nights or any time you need a cozy and satisfying meal.

But before we get started, I want to share a funny story from my days as a TV chef. Back in the 90s, I had my own cooking show called ‘Cooking with Sven’. It was a big hit among Swedish viewers, and I became known for my outrageous personality and unique cooking techniques.

One day, while filming an episode about making tomato soup, I accidentally spilled a whole can of tomato puree on the floor. Instead of panicking, I grabbed a mop and started dancing around the set, pretending it was a new type of kitchen workout. The crew couldn’t stop laughing, and that episode ended up being one of the most-watched of the season!

Now, let’s get to the recipe. Here are the ingredients you will need:

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 cans of diced tomatoes
• 1 cup of vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste

And here are the step-by-step instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until softened.
3. Pour in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, then stir in the sugar.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
6. Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until smooth.
7. If desired, garnish with fresh basil or a dollop of sour cream.

And that’s it! You now have a delicious homemade tomato soup that will warm you up from the inside out. Serve it with some crusty bread for a complete meal.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
