TOMATO BASIL SOUP

For me, it really didn’t have enough flavor, so I added more Italian seasoning and salt and sugar. Next time I may add tomato paste and carrots. But easy to make, so that was wonderful! Thanks!

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or to taste)
• 1 medium onion (chopped)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 dash Italian seasoning
• 12 leaves fresh basil (torn)
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 (28 fluid ounce) cans whole San Marzano tomatoes (with juices)

Instructions

1. Frist, Add the oil, butter, and onion to a soup pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 5-7 minutes or until it's lightly browned.
2. Then Stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning, followed by the tomatoes and chicken broth.
3. Then Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 minutes, covered, with the lid slightly ajar.
4. Then Blend the soup (I like to use an immersion blender) until it's smooth (you may want to let it cool a little bit first). 
5. Stir in the cream and basil and season with salt & pepper as needed.
6. Enjoy It !
