Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
-
Add the tomatoes, broth, cream, basil, sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the soup has thickened slightly.
-
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it is smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender and puree it in batches. Be sure to remove the center cap of the blender lid and cover the opening with a clean kitchen towel to allow steam to escape. This will help prevent the lid from blowing off due to the hot soup.
-
Return the soup to the pot and heat over medium heat until it is hot and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy!
