Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 1.5 lbs) ripe tomatoes
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 6 leaves fresh basil
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes and remove the stems. Quarter the tomatoes for easy blending.
Peel and roughly chop the onion and the garlic cloves.
Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and chicken or vegetable broth to the VitaMix blender.
Secure the blender lid and start the VitaMix on low speed, gradually increasing to high.
Blend on high speed for 5–6 minutes. The VitaMix's powerful motor will heat the soup as it blends.
Once the soup is steaming hot, reduce the speed to low and slowly add the heavy cream and olive oil through the lid plug opening.
Add salt, black pepper, and sugar (if desired) to taste. Blend on low for another 30 seconds to mix.
Add the fresh basil leaves and pulse the blender a few times to incorporate without over-blending.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with additional basil leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, or a dollop of cream.
