- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 milliliters double cream

Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the garlic doesn't brown.
Step 4
Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to break down and release their juices.

Pour in the vegetable stock and add the fresh basil leaves, caster sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Step 7
Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a countertop blender and blend in batches.

Return the soup to the saucepan (if blended separately) and stir in the double cream. Heat gently but do not let the soup boil.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
Step 10
