Ingredients for 4-6 servings:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
• Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Cooking Instructions:

1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare Tomatoes: Add the canned tomatoes, including their juice, to the saucepan. Break them up with a spoon as they cook, and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
3. Blend in Vitamix: Carefully transfer the tomato mixture to your Vitamix blender. Add the vegetable broth, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add Fresh Basil: Add the fresh basil leaves to the blender. Blend again on high speed for about 30 seconds until the basil is fully incorporated and the soup is silky in texture.
5. Heat the Soup: If the soup isn’t hot enough, transfer it back to the saucepan and heat over medium until warmed through, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching.
6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, and if desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese for an added layer of flavor. Serve hot with your choice of accompaniments.

Extra Tips:

For an even deeper flavor, consider roasting the tomatoes beforehand. Simply place the tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes before adding them to the saucepan. This will intensify the sweetness of the tomatoes.

Additionally, if the soup is too thick for your liking, you can adjust the consistency by adding more vegetable broth. Always taste and adjust the seasoning before serving to guarantee the perfect balance of flavors.

2. Prepare the Squash: Place the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss the cubes to make sure they’re evenly coated.
3. Roast the Squash: Roast the squash in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until it’s tender and lightly caramelized. Check for doneness by piercing a piece with a fork; it should slide in easily.
4. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add a little olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Blend the Soup: Transfer the roasted squash and sautéed aromatics to your Vitamix blender. Add the vegetable broth and blend on high until the mixture is smooth and velvety. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
6. Heat the Soup: Pour the blended soup back into the pot and heat over medium-low heat. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
7. Serve: Once heated through, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Extra Tips:

For a slightly different flavor profile, consider adding a peeled and chopped apple to the roasting pan with the squash to incorporate a hint of sweetness.

Be mindful of the consistency of the soup; if it’s too thick, you can add more broth to reach your desired texture. If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or a nut-based cream for a similar creamy effect.

Remember that the freshness of your spices can greatly impact the flavor of the soup, so it’s always best to use fresh or recently purchased spices for the most flavorful outcome.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced ginger, garlic, and chopped onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the mixture is fragrant.
2. Cook the Vegetables: Add the red bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini to the pot. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
3. Add the Curry Paste: Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend with the vegetables. Be careful not to burn the paste.
4. Combine the Liquids: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5. Season the Soup: Add the soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Stir well and let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Blend the Soup: If you prefer a smooth texture, remove the soup from heat and carefully blend it in batches using a Vitamix blender until smooth. For a chunky texture, you can skip this step.
7. Final Adjustments: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
8. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and optional sliced red chili for extra heat.

Extra Tips:

For a richer flavor, you can use full-fat coconut milk, though light coconut milk works if you prefer a lower calorie option. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less curry paste according to your taste.

If using a Vitamix to blend, verify you don’t overfill the container to avoid spills. This soup pairs well with steamed jasmine rice or crusty bread. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, and the flavors improve over time.
