Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup water or vegetable broth (optional, for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare Tomatoes: Rinse and chop the fresh tomatoes into quarters to make cooking easier and faster.
- Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
- Blend Soup: Remove the saucepan from heat. Allow the tomatoes to cool slightly, then transfer the tomatoes and garlic mixture into a blender. Add cottage cheese and blend until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add water or vegetable broth gradually to reach your preferred consistency.
- Season and Serve: Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed. Reheat gently on the stove if desired before serving.
Notes
- Using fresh tomatoes enhances the flavor, but canned tomatoes can be substituted if fresh are unavailable.
- The cottage cheese adds protein and creaminess without needing heavy cream, making it a healthier choice.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce during blending.
- This soup can be served warm or chilled as a refreshing summer option.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
