About Tomato Plum Soup
Tomato Plum Soup is a classic tomato soup cooked with ripe and juicy plums. The plums add a mildly sour taste that perfectly complements the sweetness of tomatoes. This one-pot silky smooth soup is easy to make, needs basic pantry ingredients, and comes together in under 60 minutes. Enjoy it for dinner with garlic bread, breadsticks, or a sandwich, or serve it as a starter for get-togethers, parties, or festive dinners. Plums – Use fresh plums. Avoid the ones that are bruised or have black patches. Broth – I have used vegetable broth, but you can also use chicken broth. If you do not have broth, use water, but the broth is highly recommendable as it adds a distinct flavor. Seasonings – This soup uses dried basil, dried oregano, and pepper. Unsweetened Heavy Cream – This is optional but recommended for a creamier soup. You can use coconut cream instead to make it vegan. Others – You will also need light olive oil, onion, garlic, sugar, and salt. Add ½ cup finely chopped onions and sauté until translucent (4-5 mins), stirring frequently. Add 2 teaspoon minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add 2 cups of vegetable broth to the pot. Stir in 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon dried basil, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and allow the soup to simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to help blend the flavors. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids. Once the soup is blended, return it to the pot over low heat. Stir in ½ cup of unsweetened heavy cream. Adjust seasoning as needed. Let the soup simmer for 8-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.
