Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 28 ounces crushed canned tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 0.25 cup vodka
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable or chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Add the vodka and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook uncovered for 20 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off and the flavors to meld.
Stir in the heavy cream, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until silky.
Return the pureed soup to the pot and warm it over low heat, if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve hot alongside crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
