Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the fresh tomatoes thoroughly and chop them into quarters. Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Peel and chop the carrot into small pieces. Dice the celery.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, minced garlic, chopped carrot, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.

  3. 5

    Season the Soup

    Stir in the dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Bring the soup to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the tomatoes to break down.

Blending and Serving

  1. 7

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of cream if desired.
