Creamy Tomato Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

2. 2

   Add Tomatoes and Broth

   Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

3. 3

   Season the Mixture

   Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot.

5. 5

   Add Cream

   Stir in the heavy cream and heat the soup over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the creamy tomato soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped basil. Serve hot.
