Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.25 cups basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the canned whole peeled tomatoes (including their juices) into the pot. Use a spoon to gently break the tomatoes apart.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine. Increase the heat and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Step 5

Stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to marry the flavors.

Step 6

Remove the soup from heat and add the basil leaves. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches using a countertop blender. Be cautious with hot liquids.

Step 7

Once blended, return the soup to medium-low heat. Stir in the heavy cream to create a velvety texture.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. For a richer flavor, stir in grated parmesan cheese before serving.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves or a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with crusty bread or grilled cheese for an ultimate comfort meal.
