2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (28 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained, such as San Marzano
1 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Salad croutons, optional
Directions:
In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
To the onions and garlic, add the diced tomatoes, broth, basil, sugar and seasonings. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until tomatoes are tender.
Next, puree the soup using an immersion blender until it's smooth and velvety. Editor's Tip: Alternatively, allow the soup to cool slightly and puree it in batches using a blender.
Pour in the heavy cream (which is different than whipping cream) and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the soup has thickened slightly and is heated through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls (or a copycat Panera bread bowl) and garnish with croutons, if desired.
