Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Roughly chop the basil leaves.
- In a large pot, melt the salted butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes, including the juices.
- Stir well to combine with the garlic and butter.
- Add in the chicken broth, chopped basil leaves, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a stand blender and blend until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot.
- Pour in the heavy whipping cream and stir well to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
- Allow the soup to heat through over low heat for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil once the cream has been added.
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil or a drizzle of extra cream if desired.
- Serve hot with a side of crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich for a comforting meal.
Tips:
- For a smooth texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot. Alternatively, you can let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches using a stand blender.
- If you prefer a bit more spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the salt and black pepper.
- For a richer flavor, roast the garlic cloves in the oven before adding them to the soup.
- Use high-quality canned tomatoes for the best taste. San Marzano tomatoes are a great choice.
- Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, or fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of flavor.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken soup.
