Easy Tomato Basil Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 15 baby carrots, thinly sliced
• 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce (such as Hunt's®)
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (such as Hunt's®)
• 1.25 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic; cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, chicken broth, basil, and oregano. Increase heat to medium and simmer until soup is reduced, 10 to 20 minutes.
2. Carefully pour soup into a blender, filling it no more than halfway. Secure the lid and pulse a few times before blending continuously. Add cream. Continue to puree in batches until smooth and creamy, transferring the soup to another pot.
3. Heat the soup over medium-high heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
