Soup Base

Creamy Finish

Method

Prepare the Soup Base

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add sugar, salt, black pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Blend and Finish

  1. 5

    Blend the Soup

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

  2. 6

    Add Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and allow the soup to heat through over low heat for about 5 minutes, but do not bring it to a boil.

  3. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh basil. Serve warm.
