Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the Tomatoes

    Stir in the San Marzano tomatoes, breaking them up with a spoon. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Broth

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Blending and Finishing

  1. 4

    Blend the Soup

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

  2. 5

    Add the Cream

    Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Serve and Garnish

    Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot.
