Directions

  1. 1Add olive oil to your pot and heat to medium.
  2. 2Add diced onion, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent and soft.
  3. 3Add garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn your garlic at this step.
  4. 4Add tomatoes, bone broth, and basil leaves. Gently break up the tomatoes with a spatula, but it’s okay if they stay mostly chunky at this stage. Stir and cover. Let this simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. 5Turn off the heat. Add cottage cheese, and stir. Then, use an immersion blender to blend your high protein tomato soup until completely smooth. This may take 1-2 minutes. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully blend your soup in batches in a heat-safe blender, and return to the pot. Add more broth if desired for a thinner consistency.
  6. 6Taste, and add more salt and pepper as desired. Serve with freshly grated parmesan and black pepper.
