Creamy Tomato Soup

March 2, 2018

Now that the Olympics are over, I've found myself not knowing what to do during the week! I am definitely in a post-Olympic depression. SO I've settled by watching endless episodes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Pat hates watching with me but I've decided that he's secretly invested in it because he told me yesterday that he likes Lisa Rinna but thinks everyone else is crazy. That means he has formed an opinion and wants to continue watching. LOL.

Not related to RHOBH, I made this creamy tomato soup the other week and it was divine. When I was younger I had an aversion to tomato soup, because I used to think of it as the very smooth, canned variety. When I started trying it out at restaurants it became my go-to soup and I fell in love with it. This Creamy Tomato Soup is SO easy to make - just a couple of ingredients - and it's so hearty and delicious. It's perfect for a weeknight meal.

Creamy Tomato Soup
(makes 4-6 servings)

  • 2 14 oz. cans of diced tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, diced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp. dried basil
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne peppet
  • 1 cup whole milk

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, add in olive oil, garlic, and onion and cook until soft and translucent over medium heat. Add in diced tomatoes and all spices and continue stirring until bubbling.

Once everything is simmering, add in chicken broth and continue cooking, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and let sit for 15 minutes.

Transfer the mixture into a blender (I use a Vitamix but another brand, or an immersion blender works just fine!) and blend on low until smooth but some texture remains. Transfer back into the heavy bottom pot and turn the heat on low. Add in the whole milk and stir until fully mixed. Serve hot. I like grilled cheese or potato chips on the side!

Hi! I'm Katherine and I live in Brooklyn. I love baking, trying new food, exploring, traveling, reading, and taking photos.

Happy 💞 Day! Hope everyone had some good chocolate today. ❤️🥰
Went to Mexico a couple weeks ago and ate a diet of 95% tacos and refreshing cocktails. 🌴🍹 Getting out of the Northeast when it was 6 degrees wasn’t bad either. 🤗 Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines and the seafood in Tulum was so fresh and flavorful. Next places in Mexico I want to visit: Mexico City and Oaxaca. #travel #mexico #tulum
Back on here after a nice looong break. 💆🏻‍♀️
In the past couple of months I felt zero urge to bake and it was nice to get away from it for a while to clear my head, relax, and not spend hours taking/editing photos. Moving forward I’ll be doing a little less baking, and more cooking and non-cooking photos, as I’m expanding my interests and also changing my diet (to involve wayyy fewer sweet things). 🌟
I still enjoy creating but I think it’s just starting to come through in different ways! This morning I was at the grocery store and I saw these beautiful artichokes, so I steamed them and made a tzatziki dipping sauce. It was SO simple and so good! 
I’m glad to be back taking some foodie pics. 😊 #f52grams
Better late than never! 🍪 The day of the #virtualcookieparty2018 is over soon and I ALMOST forgot to post my pic but here it is! This year I made brown sugar coconut macaroons, dipped in dark chocolate and topped with sprinkles (the more glitter the better). ✨ The recipe is really easy with just a few ingredients, and is on the blog now. Thanks @cosetteskitchen for hosting!
Giveaway! 🍹 This holiday season I’m looking forward to gift giving. There’s nothing better than festive holiday cocktails - one of my favorite winter drinks is a spicy margarita. I’ve partnered with @wandpdesign to give away a craft cocktail set pictured here. 🥂 To enter, leave a comment and tag a friend, and follow me @katherineinbrooklyn and @wandpdesign! Winner will be chosen 12/14 at noon EST - US entries only.
It’s #nationalcookieday so I had to post some pre-baked ones since I typically like the dough better than the finished cookie! 🍪 Hoping to make some more cookies this weekend. ✨✨
New recipe! It’s #yesyoucranberry. ✨✨ These cranberry cinnamon buns are super gooey and are on the blog now just in time for 🦃 day! #cinnamonbuns
Pink cake for getting through today. ✨ 
@patgmusic and I went to Wildair tonight for dinner! I’ve been dying to go there for years and am so glad we finally tried it. I’ll be dreaming of the oysters, bread, and olive oil forever. ✨✨✨
Feeling hopeful after the Midterm elections so I was motivated to post a recipe on the blog after almost a month of not posting. 😱 There’s work to be done but it’s a good reminder that it’s important to focus on the big issues in life, but also the little things that make you happy. And for me, the little things are doughnuts (and this food blog.) 🍩 So the recipe for these baked banana doughnuts is on the blog now. ✨
