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.

It was good, but a little bland. I think it could use more seasoning. Maybe some salt and pepper would have helped.
