Mug Of Tomato Soup Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a medium saucepan, 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 an additional minute until fragrant.

2. 2

   Add the Tomatoes and Broth

   Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) and vegetable broth to the saucepan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. 3

   Blend Until Smooth

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the saucepan.

4. 4

   Add Cream and Seasonings

   Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and basil. Heat the soup gently over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. 5

   Serve

   Pour the soup into a mug and serve hot, garnished with additional basil if desired.
