Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- optional fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and the chicken or vegetable broth.
Add the sugar, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend in batches in a regular blender.
Return the puree back to the pot over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and butter until the butter is melted and the soup is heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the soup is too thick, add more broth or cream to reach desired consistency.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
