Ingredients
  

For the Soup:
  • 2 15-ounce cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup finely chopped sweet onion
  • 2 medium garlic cloves minced
  • 12 leaves fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or half & half)

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Immersion blender or regular blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Sauté the finely chopped sweet onion and minced garlic in a large pot over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
  2. Pour in the two cans of diced tomatoes (with their juices) into the pot and stir well to combine.
  3. Add the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to the pot and stir to incorporate.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the fresh basil leaves, stirring them in and letting them wilt for a minute.
  6. Blend the soup using an immersion blender until it reaches your desired level of smoothness.
  7. Return the pot to low heat and stir in the heavy whipping cream, warming it through for an additional minute or two.
  8. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy hot, garnished with extra basil or a drizzle of cream if desired.

Notes

  • Let the soup cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • For freezing, leave some space in the container as it will expand.
  • Reheat on low heat, adding a splash of cream or water if needed.
