Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 28 oz canned diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- croutons or fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (including the juice) and the chicken or vegetable broth to the saucepan.
Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a blender in batches, blend until smooth, and return it to the saucepan.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with croutons or a sprinkle of fresh basil, if desired.
