Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 6 medium, chopped ripe tomatoes
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 4 for garnish fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down and release their juices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 15 minutes to deepen the flavors.
Remove the pot from heat and carefully blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or by transferring it in batches to a countertop blender.
Return the soup to the pot and stir in the orange juice, orange zest, and heavy cream. Mix thoroughly.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and sugar (if desired). Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Cook the soup on low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
