Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Butter
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 1 large Carrot, diced
• 1 stalk Celery, diced
• 56 ounces Canned whole tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dry sherry
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 sprigs Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
• 1 cup Croutons, for serving (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.

Step 3

Add the canned whole tomatoes (with their juices) to the pot, breaking them up with a wooden spoon or your hands as you add them.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to enhance the tomato flavor.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stir, and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the soup simmer gently for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender (or working in batches with a stand blender), puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

Step 8

Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, sherry, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is heated through and the flavors are well combined.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and croutons, if desired.
