Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 6 leaves, for garnish fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until 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 juices and break them up slightly with a spoon or spatula.
Add the vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and heat through for another 2-3 minutes, but do not boil.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.
