Instructions
-
Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
-
Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the can of tomatoes, including the juice, and the vegetable broth. Stir in the sugar, salt, pepper, and basil.
-
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth.
-
Add Cream (Optional): For a creamier soup, stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 5 minutes.
-
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil if desired, and enjoy!
