Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Add Cream and Seasonings

    Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
