While many recipes use dozens of fancy ingredients to elevate tomato soup, you only need three to make the tastiest soup ever: canned whole tomatoes, butter, and onions.
Spoon in pot of tomato sauce
This trio blends perfectly for a couple of reasons — the butter mellows the tomatoes' acidity, and the onions balance the tomatoes' tanginess as they sweeten up during cooking.

To prepare this soup at home, melt the butter in a pot, then toss in the other ingredients along with some water. The recipe works best with San Marzano canned tomatoes.

When the onions have softened and the soup has thickened, take it off the stovetop and blend it to a smooth, velvety texture. Also, consider pairing it with buttery garlic bread.
