Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 ounces canned whole San Marzano tomatoes
- 2 cups tomato puree
- 2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and carrots, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and slightly golden.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Add the canned tomatoes (including their juice), tomato puree, and chicken or vegetable stock. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy. Return the blended soup to the pot.
Stir in the sugar, fresh basil, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat through.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve warm with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich.
