Soup Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Sauté the Vegetables

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

2

Add the Tomatoes

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and stir well. Cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down and release their juices.

3

Add Broth and Simmer

Pour in the vegetable broth, season with salt and black pepper, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4

Blend the Soup

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

5

Add Gin and Basil

Stir in the gin and fresh basil leaves. Allow the soup to heat through for another 5 minutes.

6

Serve

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls, adding a drizzle of cream if desired, and serve hot.
