Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 cups Fresh tomatoes, chopped
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped fresh tomatoes to the pot and stir to combine.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
After 30 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.
