    Adding Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

    Incorporating Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmering

    Allow the soup to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Adding Basil and Cream

    Stir in the fresh basil leaves and heavy cream. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Blending
