Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Servings: 4 - 6

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp Borsari Olive Oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cans (28 oz each) whole peeled tomatoes
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional for creaminess)
• 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 2 tsp Borsari Savory Seasoning
• 1/2 tsp sugar (to balance acidity, optional)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat Borsari Olive Oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
2. Add tomatoes (with juice) and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes to let flavors develop.
3. Stir in fresh basil and Borsari Savory Seasoning. Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender in batches) to purée until smooth.
4. Return soup to the pot. Stir in cream (if using), sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
5. Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh basil, and serve warm.

Pro Tips

• For extra richness, roast the tomatoes beforehand at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes before adding to the pot.
• Top with a drizzle of Borsari Olive Oil for a gourmet finish.
• Pair with grilled cheese made on sourdough for the ultimate comfort meal.
