Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer for 15 minutes.
Using an immersion blender (or transferring the soup to a blender in batches), blend the soup until smooth.
Stir in the cooked rice, heavy cream, sugar, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve warm.
