Equipment

  • large stock pot or soup pot
  • immersion blender or blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3-4 cups chicken bone broth
  • 2 cups 4% cottage cheese blended
  • ½+ teaspoon sea salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup fresh basil
  • 4 cups canned whole tomatoes or 2 lbs roasted cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • Parmesan optional for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30–60 seconds.
  • Add the canned tomatoes (or roasted cherry tomatoes), tomato paste, basil, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken bone broth and stir to combine. Bring the to a gentle simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a high-speed blender to puree until smooth and creamy.
  • In a separate bowl or blender, puree the cottage cheese until completely smooth. Stir the blended cottage cheese into the soup base until fully combined.
  • Return the soup to low heat and warm gently until heated through. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed. Serve topped with fresh basil or a sprinkle of parmesan, if desired.

Notes

  • Blend the cottage cheese before adding it to the soup to keep it smooth.
  • Use bone broth for extra protein and flavor.
  • Don’t overheat after adding cottage cheese — warm gently.
  • Add a little tomato paste for a deeper tomato flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh basil, black pepper, parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil
