Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 medium (peeled and diced) carrots
- 1 medium (diced) celery stalk
- 28 ounces (with juices) canned whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups (chopped) fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cups (grated, for garnish) parmesan cheese
- 1 cup (for garnish, optional) croutons
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the canned whole peeled tomatoes with their juices, vegetable broth, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the mixture to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and chopped basil leaves. Cook for an additional 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt or pepper if desired.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated parmesan cheese and croutons, if using.
Serve warm and enjoy your Deluxe Tomato Soup!
