Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Cooking

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Pour in the canned whole tomatoes (including their juices) and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  2. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir well and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes.

  3. 5

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.

    Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Heat the soup gently for another 5 minutes, but do not let it boil.
