Instructions

In a large pot, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until softened. Stir in tomatoes and fresh basil, then season with salt and pepper. Pour in chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes.
Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until completely smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream. Strain the soup for an extra smooth texture before serving. Garnish with a fresh basil sprig.
