Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 28 ounces Diced tomatoes
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1.5 cups Cooked ham, diced
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the onion to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer it to a blender, working in batches if needed. Return the soup to the pot if using a blender.
Stir in the cooked diced ham, heavy cream, sugar, dried basil, salt, and ground black pepper. Simmer for another 10 minutes to heat through and enhance the flavors.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed with additional salt or pepper.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot.
