Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery into small pieces. Roughly chop the fresh tomatoes and basil.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Simmer the Tomatoes

    Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.

  2. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending in batches.

  3. 5

    Add Cream and Seasonings

    Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream, fresh basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Allow the soup to heat through for another 5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Warm

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread.
