Serve this Italian tomato soup recipe with leek in espresso cups or small tumblers, garnished with additional chopped basil, Parmigiano Reggiano and crispy croutons.
This Italian tomato soup turns a handful of classic ingredients into a smooth, comforting dish. Gently cooked leek, fresh basil, cream and Parmigiano Reggiano complement the tomato without overpowering it, keeping the flavour clean and balanced.
Mutti Passata gives the soup its naturally smooth texture and rich tomato character. Because the tomatoes are already finely puréed, there is no need to blend the soup, making this an especially simple easy tomato soup for busy days.
Butter and cream give this creamy tomato soup a velvety finish, while fresh basil adds an aromatic note. The richness remains balanced by the bright flavour of the tomato, creating a soup that feels indulgent without becoming too heavy.
