Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup heavy cream (optional)
- 5 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the canned tomatoes along with their juice, breaking them apart with a spoon or spatula.
Add the vegetable broth, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and puree carefully.
If using, stir in the heavy cream for a richer consistency and flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if you like.
