Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 optional, for serving croutons or fresh bread

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Pour in the canned whole peeled tomatoes along with their liquid.

Step 5

Add the vegetable broth, fresh basil leaves, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the soup to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until smooth. (Always exercise caution when blending hot liquids.)

Step 8

Return the soup to the pot if using a traditional blender, then stir in the heavy cream.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot with croutons or fresh bread on the side. Enjoy!
