Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 28 oz Canned crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cups Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare your ingredients by mincing the garlic, chopping the basil leaves, and measuring out your liquids and spices.
In a slow cooker, add the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Add the minced garlic, fresh basil, dried oregano, sugar, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to the slow cooker. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
Drizzle in the olive oil and give it another stir.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and develop.
After 4 hours, stir in the heavy cream to add a velvety smoothness to the sipper. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Use an immersion blender directly in the slow cooker to blend the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender in batches and blend, then return it to the slow cooker.
Ladle the Steamy Tomato Sipper into mugs or small bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve hot and enjoy as a cozy drink or light appetizer.
