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 sugar (optional, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the canned whole peeled tomatoes and their juices to the pot, breaking them apart with a wooden spoon. Pour in the vegetable broth, stir, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 20 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and blend carefully. Once smooth, return the soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream, sugar (if needed), salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves, if using. Enjoy with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich for a perfect pairing!
