Ingredients

• 6 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 2

Roughly chop the onion and garlic cloves. Sauté them in the skillet until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

While the onion and garlic cook, roughly chop the tomatoes into quarters.

Step 4

Add the tomatoes to the skillet with the sautéed onion and garlic. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and release their juices.

Step 5

Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir well and turn off the heat.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the tomato mixture into a blender. Add 2 cups of vegetable broth and 0.25 cup of basil leaves.

Step 7

Blend on high until the soup is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. If your blender has a soup function, use that for optimal results.

Step 8

Once blended, pour the soup back into the skillet or into a saucepan. Heat gently over medium-low heat and stir in 0.25 cup of heavy cream.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper to suit your preference.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot in bowls, garnished with fresh basil leaves or a drizzle of olive oil. Pair with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich for a complete meal.
