🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces Canned whole tomatoes
• 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
• 1 Frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed
• 1 Egg, beaten

📝 Instructions

15 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.

3. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent browning.

4. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Add the canned tomatoes with their juices to the pot. Use a spoon to break the tomatoes into smaller pieces.

6. Pour in the broth, then add the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

7. Lower the heat and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

8. Remove the soup from the heat and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend it in batches using a countertop blender. Be cautious of hot liquids.

9. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. If desired, add the chopped basil for additional flavor.

10. Divide the soup evenly among individual oven-safe bowls or ramekins, leaving about an inch of space at the top.

11. Roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly on a floured surface, then cut it into pieces large enough to cover the tops of each bowl with a slight overhang.

12. Brush the edges of each bowl with the beaten egg, then place a piece of puff pastry over the top of each one. Press down lightly to seal the edges around the rim of the bowl.

13. Brush the tops of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a glossy, golden finish.

14. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed and golden brown.

15. Carefully remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
