Quick 2-Minute Tomato Soup
2-Minute Microwave Tomato Soup: Healthy and Easy for Dieters!
Here’s a simple yet delicious tomato soup recipe I often make! It’s low in calories and rich in nutrients, perfect for those on a diet. I’ve transformed healthy tomatoes into a delightful soup. The subtle sweetness from the tomatoes and the rich aroma of olive oil create a wonderfully sophisticated flavor. Best of all, it only takes 2 minutes to make! It’s a hearty and satisfying option for a busy morning instead of rice. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a healthy diet.
Main Ingredients
- 3 tomatoes
- 1/4 onion
- A pinch of dried basil
Seasoning & Others
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
- A pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Score the bottom of each tomato with a cross (‘X’) and blanch them in boiling water for a moment to easily peel off the skin. Slice the peeled tomatoes into about 0.5-1 cm thick rounds, then cut them in half again to make them bite-sized. Finely mince the onion. (Cool Cat’s Tip: I prefer to remove the skin for a smoother texture, but you can leave it on if you find it too much work.)
Step 2
Place the prepared tomatoes and minced onion into a microwave-safe bowl. Add the minced garlic, dried basil, salt, and olive oil. Mix everything together evenly.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for about 2 to 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The tomatoes will soften and release their juices, creating a light broth that gives it a soup-like consistency. (Tip: For a completely smooth, liquid soup without chunks, microwave for about 5 minutes.)
Step 4
Pour the finished tomato soup into a serving bowl. A final drizzle of olive oil enhances the flavor, and a garnish of baby greens adds a beautiful touch. (Serving Suggestions: For a perfect diet meal, serve with two boiled eggs. If you’re not dieting, a sprinkle of cheese makes it even more delicious! It’s also wonderful to dip crusty bread into the broth.)
