1
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. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
2
Add Tomatoes and Broth
Pour in the canned tomatoes (with their juice) and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
3
Blend the Soup
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
4
Add Cream and Seasoning
Stir in the heavy cream and chopped basil. Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
