Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Add salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and let it cook for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Blending and Creaming

  1. 3

    Blend the Soup

    Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.

  2. 4

    Add Cream and Basil

    Return the blended soup to low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and chopped fresh basil leaves. Allow the soup to warm through for about 5 minutes.
