Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 56 oz Canned diced tomatoes
- 3 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 medium Carrot, finely chopped
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Prepare your vegetables: chop the carrot and onion finely, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and carrot until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to your crockpot.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their juice), chicken or vegetable broth, basil leaves, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the crockpot. Stir to combine.
Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low heat for 4 hours, or on high heat for 2 hours.
Once the cooking time is complete, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the crockpot until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree, then return it to the crockpot.
Stir in the heavy cream and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Allow the soup to warm for an additional 10-15 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil leaves if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or your favorite grilled cheese.
