Ingredients

Scale
  • Fresh ripe tomatoes or canned whole peeled tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarian option)
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour/gluten-free blend)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Pinch of sugar
  • Fresh basil
  • Fresh oregano
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add a chopped onion and a couple of minced garlic cloves. Sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. If using fresh tomatoes, chop them roughly and add them to the pot. If using canned, pour in the whole tomatoes along with their juice. Stir to combine.
  3. Pour in about 4 cups of vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Once the tomatoes are soft and the soup has simmered, use an immersion blender to puree it until smooth. If you don’t have one, carefully transfer it to a regular blender in batches. Return it to the pot.
  5. Taste the soup and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity. Stir in fresh basil and oregano, letting it infuse the soup with flavor.
  6. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 cup of flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour until manageable.
  7. With floured hands, shape the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
  8. Gently drop the dumplings into the simmering soup. Cook for 10-12 minutes until they puff up and are cooked through. Avoid stirring too much to prevent them from breaking apart.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan, fresh basil, or a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy your hearty Tomato Soup with Cheese Dumplings!

Keywords: Always opt for fresh herbs when possible. For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of broth or simmer longer. Consider roasting the tomatoes for deeper flavor.
