A delightful and spicy soup made with caramelized onions, gochujang, and fresh tomatoes, perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional for creaminess)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the pot. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the gochujang and cook for another minute to toast the paste slightly.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), vegetable broth, sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
  6. If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of gochujang or add a diced jalapeño when cooking the onions.
  • For a vegan version, omit the heavy cream or substitute with coconut cream for a different flavor profile.
