Ingredients
  

Soup Base
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can canned tomatoes 28 oz, crushed or whole
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon fresh
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon fresh
  • 1 teaspoon sugar to balance acidity
Creamy Element
  • 1 cup heavy cream for richness

Method
 

Prepare the Soup Base
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the canned tomatoes (with juices), vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, and sugar. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Blend and Finish
  1. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for another 5 minutes.
  3. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
