Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup diced yellow onion and 1/2 cup diced carrot, cooking for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
2. Step 2: Add 2 lbs diced ripe tomatoes to the pot, stirring well. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture becomes thick and jammy.
3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Add 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
4. Step 4: Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. Step 5: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth. Return to low heat and stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream until warmed through and the soup is creamy.
6. Step 6: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with a swirl of fresh herbs on top.
