Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the canned tomatoes (with their juices) and vegetable broth to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches, then return it to the saucepan.
Stir in the heavy cream, sugar, chopped basil, and oregano. Simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with additional chopped basil and grated parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve hot with crusty bread or a side of your choice. Enjoy!
