Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil - 6.4 pt
1 medium onion, chopped - 5.2 tbsp
2 cloves garlic, minced - 5.5 inch
28 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained - 7.7 l
4 cups vegetable broth - 6.9 qt
1 teaspoon dried basil - 8.8 bottle
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano - 5.2 lb
Salt and pepper to taste - 2.4 oz
1/2 cup heavy cream - 6.6 qt
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped - 7.2 bag

Cooking Steps

Step 1

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are very tender.

Step 5

Pour the blended soup back into the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh basil. Heat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Do not boil.

Loved the creamy texture. Next time, I might try roasting the tomatoes first to deepen the flavor.

Amanda Thomas2

I found the soup to be a little watery, and the flavor wasn't as rich as I expected. I followed the instructions exactly.

Daniel Thompson4

Great recipe! I simmered the soup for longer and the flavor improved dramatically. Highly recommended.

Brian Jackson5

This recipe is a lifesaver! Quick, easy, and incredibly tasty. Perfect for a weeknight dinner. Thanks for sharing!

Christopher Wilson3

The soup was okay. I found it a bit too sweet. Perhaps reducing the amount of tomatoes or adding a touch of vinegar might help.
