Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, finely chopped
• 1 stalk Celery stalk, finely chopped
• 28 ounces Canned whole peeled tomatoes
• 3 cups Vegetable stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the canned tomatoes along with their juice. Break the tomatoes apart with a wooden spoon.

Step 4

Add the vegetable stock to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Stir in the basil leaves, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Cover and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a blender to puree the soup in batches, being cautious with hot liquids.

Step 7

Return the soup to the pot if needed, then stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and a few extra basil leaves if desired.
