Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Core and chop the fresh tomatoes into smaller pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

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

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 5

    Season the Soup

    Add the dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 6

    Blend the Soup

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

  5. 7

    Add Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and heat gently over low heat for an additional 5 minutes. Do not bring to a boil.
