Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 small Carrots, peeled and diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- 2 slices Crusty bread (optional for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.
Add the diced onion and carrots to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.
Season the mixture with dried basil, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir again to distribute the seasonings.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender, ensuring the lid is secured tightly.)
Return the pot to low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, but do not let it boil.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, by adding more salt or pepper.
Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot with crusty bread on the side, if desired.
