1
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the ripe tomatoes thoroughly and chop them into quarters. Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
2
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3
Cook the Tomatoes
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot with the onions and garlic. Stir to combine and cook for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
4
Add Broth and Seasoning
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
5
Blend the Soup
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches.

6
Add Cream and Basil
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh basil leaves into the blended soup. Heat gently over low heat for another 5 minutes, ensuring it doesn't boil.
7
Serve
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm, garnished with additional basil if desired.
