1
Prep the Vegetables
Chop the ripe tomatoes, fennel bulb, onion, and garlic cloves into small pieces.

2
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and fennel and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened.
3
Add Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Cook the Tomatoes
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down.
5
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.
6
Add Cream and Basil
Stir in the fresh cream and chopped basil leaves. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
