Instructions
- Prepare Station
Gather tomatoes, onion, garlic, clarified butter, broth, seasonings, a heavy pot, knife, board, blender, ladle, and fine sieve. · 5 min
What to look for: All ingredients measured and tools within reach.
- Sauté Aromatics
Heat clarified butter in a heavy pot, add diced onion and garlic, and sauté until soft, fragrant, and lightly golden at the edges. · 6 min
What to look for: Onion is translucent with pale golden edges; garlic is fragrant, not brown.
- Cook Tomatoes
Add roughly chopped ripe tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until they slump, release juice, and lose their raw aroma. · 10 min
What to look for: Tomatoes collapse into a loose, juicy base with softened skins.
- Simmer Broth
Pour in vegetable broth, scrape the pot base, bring to a gentle boil, then lower to a steady simmer for 15 minutes. · 15 min
What to look for: Soup bubbles gently and the tomato pieces look very soft.
- Blend Smooth
Blend the soup until completely smooth, keeping the blade submerged to avoid splashing the hot liquid. · 3 min
What to look for: The soup becomes uniform, thick, and bright red with no large pieces.
- Sieve Soup
Pass the blended soup through a fine sieve, pressing with a ladle for a velvety Polish krem texture. · 4 min
What to look for: Only skins and seeds remain in the sieve; the soup below is silky.
- Season Gently
Season with salt, black pepper, and sugar, then simmer briefly so the clean tomato sweetness comes forward. · 2 min
What to look for: Soup looks glossy and tastes balanced between sweet tomato and light savory broth.
- Serve Hot
Serve the soup hot in bowls while the texture is silky, glossy, and bright red; do not add cream. · 2 min
What to look for: Each bowl holds a smooth, steaming tomato cream soup without dairy streaks.

Ingredient substitutions
Tomato
- Ripe tomato: Use the sweetest fully ripe tomatoes available; the soup depends on their flavor.
Clarified butter
- Sunflower oil: Less buttery, but still traditional enough for sautéing the base cleanly.
Vegetable broth
- Water: Use only if the tomatoes are excellent; the soup will taste lighter.
