Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 1 minute, until it begins to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes, fresh cherry tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth (alternatively, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and puree in batches).
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated and the soup is creamy.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
