Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- 0.5 cup croutons, optional
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth, stirring to combine.
Add the sugar, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and puree, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 more minutes to heat through.
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed with additional salt or pepper.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and optional croutons.
