Ingredients
Directions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Crush the whole peeled tomatoes by hand or with a spoon, then add them along with the vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the heavy cream, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Return to low heat and warm through, being careful not to boil.
