How do you make One Pot Tomato Basil Soup?
- Start by heating a few T olive oil in a large dutch oven. Sauté onion and shallots for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant. My favorite Dutch oven is my 5.5 Qt Le Creuset because it can be used for anything and everything! I seriously don’t know what I would do without it.
- Next, add in the garlic and cook another 30-45 seconds until fragrant, but being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes, the broth, and add in the spices; give it a toss and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Add butter and fresh basil and then using an immersion blender, puree until smooth and creamy.
- Last but not least, stir in cream and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, preferably with a grilled cheese and ENJOY!!
