Tomato Soup with Burrata
Tomato soup with burrata is a velvety vegetarian starter where ripe tomatoes, onion and garlic are blended into a silky texture at high speed, then finished with creamy burrata and fresh basil. The Thermomix TM7 cooks and mixes the soup in one bowl, delivering restaurant-quality smoothness while the burrata melts luxuriously into each bowl.
About this recipe
Tomato soup with burrata Thermomix TM7 is the kind of recipe that turns a humble vegetable into a restaurant-worthy starter with minimal effort. Searching for easy soup recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine ends here: the TM7 chops the onion and garlic, heats everything gently with the stock, and then blends at high speed until the tomato soup is completely silky, without a single lump. Ripe tomatoes and fresh basil provide a sweet, summery base, while homemade vegetable stock paste adds depth without any artificial additives. The crowning moment comes at the table: a whole ball of burrata, torn open so its creamy centre flows into the hot soup. Serve this as an elegant starter for guests, with crusty bread for dipping, or as a light quick weeknight dinner. It is naturally vegetarian, gluten-free and ready with hardly any washing up.
Preparation tips
- Choose the ripest tomatoes you can find, or use good-quality tinned peeled tomatoes in winter; their sweetness determines the final flavour of the soup, and a pinch of sugar balances any acidity.
- Add the burrata only when serving: place a half ball in each warm bowl and let guests break it open themselves so the creamy centre flows visibly into the tomato soup.
- For a kid-friendly version, blend the soup extra fine, omit the pepper and serve with grilled cheese soldiers; leftover soup keeps two days in the fridge and freezes well without the burrata.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the burrata with a dollop of lactose-free crème fraîche or a creamy cashew spread blended with basil, keeping the same luxurious creaminess against the sweet tomato base.
- Festive variation: roast cherry tomatoes and garlic with a sprig of thyme beforehand, then finish the soup with burrata, crispy basil leaves and a drizzle of pesto oil for an impressive dinner-party starter.
