Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, peeled, halved, and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste ( we started with 1/2 teaspoon)
2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaf
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
creme fraiche, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and very tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, plus the water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded, about 30 minutes. (If you're in a hurry, you can skip the simmer time -- just add a bit less water.)
  • Add the basil, season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat, and let cool briefly, about 5 minutes.
  • Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large, heatproof bowl.
  • Using a blender, purée the soup in batches until smooth, removing the small cap from the blender lid (the pour lid) and covering the space with a kitchen towel (this allows steam from the hot soup to escape and prevents the blender lid from popping off).
  • Pour the blended soup through the strainer, pressing on the solids with a rubber spatula or ladle; discard the solids. Taste the soup and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  • Return the soup to the saucepan and reheat on medium low until hot.
  • If you choose, serve topped with a tablespoon of crème fraîche.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this soup was surprisingly mild. The flavors were well-balanced and the soup was very creamy. I would definitely make this again.

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can use canned tomatoes, which makes it a great weeknight meal.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again with less spice next time.

This spicy tomato soup was a hit with my family! It was the perfect combination of spicy and flavorful, and the addition of the cream cheese gave it a creamy, rich texture. I will definitely be making this soup again.
