Pomodoro Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sautéing the Base

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

2. 2

   Adding Tomatoes and Broth

   Add the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

3. 3

   Seasoning the Soup

   Add the chopped basil leaves, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients and allow the soup to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Blending the Soup

   After simmering, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.

5. 5

   Finishing Touches

   If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer flavor. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Serving

   Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil leaves if desired.
