1
Prepare the Vegetables
Chop the fresh tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves into small pieces.
2
Sauté the Onions and Garlic
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
3
Add Tomatoes and Broth
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes. Then, add the vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper.
4
Simmer the Soup
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5
Blend the Soup
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches.
6
Add Basil and Cream
Stir in the basil leaves and cream (if using) into the blended soup. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
7
Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional basil or a swirl of cream, if desired.
