Tomato Basil Bowl Recipe

Soup Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Wash and chop the fresh tomatoes into quarters. Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

2. 2

   Sauté the Onions and Garlic

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add Tomatoes and Broth

   Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Season the Soup

   Add salt, black pepper, and sugar to the pot. Stir well and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened.

5. 5

   Blend the Soup

   Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth. Be cautious with hot liquids.

6. 6

   Add Basil and Cream

   Stir in the fresh basil leaves and heavy cream. Blend again briefly to incorporate the basil and cream into the soup.

7. 7

   Serve

   Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with extra basil if desired.
