Homemade Tomato Basil Soup

• 4 cups ripe tomatoes (or 1 can of whole tomatoes)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
• salt & pepper to taste
• fresh basil (for garnish)

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes).
2. Add tomatoes (fresh or canned) and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches in a regular blender.
4. Stir in the cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil for that perfect touch of flavor!
6. Enjoy!
