Ingredients

• 6 medium green tomatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 medium potato
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cup heavy cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the green tomatoes and cut them into quarters. Peel and dice the onion and garlic. Peel the potato and cut it into small cubes.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the garlic to the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the green tomatoes and potato cubes to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the oil and aromatics.

Step 5

Pour the vegetable broth into the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes and potatoes are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh parsley, basil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer it in batches to a countertop blender.

Step 8

If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer texture. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers.
