Instructions

1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2

Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

3

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.

4

Add sugar, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.

6

Stir in the heavy cream and heat through for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.

7

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot with crusty bread.

Chef's Tips

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut milk or cashew cream for the heavy cream.
  • Enhance the flavor by roasting the tomatoes before adding them to the soup.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Pair with a grilled cheese sandwich for a classic comfort meal.
