Rustic Skillet Tomato Basil Soup


  • Author: Cathy Poshusta

Description

Your tomato soup just got elevated—here’s the only recipe you’ll need from now on. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 cups cherry tomatoes in halves or 1/4’s
  • Hand full of basil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ‘mix ins’ – sausage, zucchini, mozzarella, poached egg, garbanzo or white beans
  • eggs for top, optional
  • fresh bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet on medium. Add minced garlic and shallots and sauté until fragrant. Add tomatoes and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add basil then remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Add salt and basalmic vinegar. This is the soup base.
  2. In the cast iron pan, sauté any ‘mix-ins’ you’re using. Chop into bite-size pieces and combine everything in the skillet. Note we sautéed the mozzarella and served it on top instead of incorporating into the soup.
  3. If you’re adding eggs on top (we did poached eggs), cook those separately and place on top.
  4. Serve soup hot with fresh griddled (or toasted) bread.
