Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- One 15-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Special equipment: an immersion blender
- Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add both cans of tomatoes, the stock and cream. Bring to a brisk simmer, reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer and cook until slightly thickened and the flavors have melded, about 20 minutes.
- Puree the soup with an immersion blender until almost smooth. Add the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Serve in cups or small bowls and garnish with the chives.

Reviews
I make it often..I add another 15oz can of no salt tomatos . Instead of the cream I use unsweetened almond milk. Very good soup..
I enjoyed this very much. Could not find 28 oz crushed tomatoes so used two smaller cans. Worked out beautifully.
Simple and delicious
Delicious and easy
I made this soup for dinner tonight & it is really good & so easy to make. I will definitely be making this recipe many more times. Thank you Patricia, love the show!
Great soup! Very quick and easy.
I haven’t tried any of Patricia’s recipes yet, but I love her and everyone else on “The Middle”, even though she doesn’t cook on it, but it looks like she’s an excellent cook in real life, and I look forward to trying her recipes. Yum!
