Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 onion
- 1 tsp sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Dice the half onion into small pieces.
In a medium pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth to the pot, stirring to combine.
Stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, about 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to heat through without boiling for another 2-3 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
