Tomato, garlic, and onion soup is a traditional dish with deep roots in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in French cooking, where it is famous as "French onion soup." Throughout Latin America, this recipe has adopted variations and different names depending on the region. In Mexico, for example, it may be accompanied by tortillas or local cheeses, while in countries like Argentina and Chile, it is common to enjoy it with homemade bread and melted cheeses. This soup is characterized by its comforting flavor and its perfect combination of textures, thanks to the soft touch of garlic and caramelized onion that complement the natural acidity of the tomato.

How to prepare Tomato, Garlic, and Onion Soup

Cool, peel, and slice the garlic thinly.
Sauté the onions in olive oil until they are soft and golden, which will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
Add the garlic, tomatoes, and tomato juice to the sautéed onions.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Incorporate the beef broth and bring to a boil again.
Serve the soup in oven-safe containers and top with slices of toasted French baguettes and Swiss cheese.
