Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup, finely diced yellow onion
- 1/4 cup, finely diced carrot
- 1/4 cup, finely diced celery stalk
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 28 oz (800g) canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 slice, 1/4 inch thick baguette
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery, and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened but not browned, stirring occasionally.
- Step 2: Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, oregano, basil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Step 3: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer in batches to a regular blender (vent lid to avoid splatter). Return to pot and stir in heavy cream.
- Step 4: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Brush baguette slices with a thin layer of olive oil and toast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Step 5: Season soup with remaining salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with a toasted baguette slice and a sprinkle of fresh basil.
