Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 medium ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 6 for garnish fresh basil leaves
• 1 loaf crusty bread (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste to the pot. Stir well and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the sugar, dried oregano, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches.)

Step 8

Return the pot to low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently until warmed through, but do not let it boil.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 11

Serve hot with slices of crusty bread on the side for dipping, if desired.
