  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 28-ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes with juice
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium; sauté onion 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. Add garlic; cook 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Cook tomato paste 2 minutes to deepen flavor.
  4. Add tomatoes with juices, broth, sugar, salt, and pepper; boil, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes.
  5. Off heat, add fresh basil; puree with an immersion blender or carefully transfer to a blender in batches.
  6. Return to pot over low; stir in cream and heat through without boiling.
  7. Adjust seasoning to taste; serve hot with extra basil and a drizzle of cream if desired.
