Ingredients

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 Medium Onion cubed
  • 3 Tomatoes peeled and chopped into 6 pieces
  • 3 Garlic cloves

Core Ingredients and Liquids

  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 30 gram Butter
  • 2 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1½ cup Tomato passata
  • 1 Chicken stock cube
  • 1 cup Water
  • ½ cup Heavy cream

Spices

  • 1 tsp Dried Basil
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • ½ Sugar
  • ½ Salt
  • ½ Pepper

Instructions

  • Cook the Onion: Preheat a pot on low heat. Add butter and add onions. Then add 2 tablespoons of water and olive oil, then stir to mix. Close the lid and cook for 12 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure that onions are not burnt. The onions must be translucent or clear, and must not be browned or burnt.
  • Add all the ingredients to the pot: (Except the Heavy cream and Egg yolk) - When the onion is done, add the tomato, tomato passata, garlic, 1 cup water, chicken stock cube, salt, pepper, sugar, dried thyme, dried basil and dried oregano. Stir to mix the ingredients and cook for 15 minutes on medium low heat with the lid closed. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Blend the Soup: When cooked, let the soup cool down a little and finely blend everything. Then put the soup back in the pot.
  • Add the Heavy Cream and Egg Yolk: Prepare a medium bowl and pour the heavy cream. Whisk the yolk and add into the bowl of heavy cream, then stir to mix until the color is uniform. Add the heavy cream and yolk mixture into the pot and cook for 2 minutes on low heat while continuously stirring. This step is important so that the yolk is not cooked fully, yet making the soup thick and creamy. Garnish with fresh basil and sun dried tomato to serve.
