Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
• 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 bay leaf
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and chopped carrots. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the canned tomatoes, including their juices, and break them apart gently with a spoon.

Step 5

Add the vegetable broth, sugar, dried basil, and the bay leaf into the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, cool the soup slightly and blend in batches using a countertop blender.

Step 8

Return the soup to low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Simmer for 5 more minutes to heat through, but do not let it boil.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil and a side of crusty bread, if desired.
