Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 (28 oz) cans crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium finely chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes until translucent, then add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant without browning.
2. Step 2: Stir in 2 cans (28 oz each) crushed tomatoes and 1 cup vegetable broth, bringing to a gentle simmer. Add 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to meld flavors.
