Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the canned whole peeled tomatoes (including their juice) to the pot. Use a wooden spoon to slightly break the tomatoes into smaller pieces.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes on low heat.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve warm.
