Tomato Basil Soup


Ingredients:
-1/2 yellow onion (diced)
-4 diced garlic cloves
-4 tomatoes (ripe and diced)
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-1 teaspoons kosher salt
-1 can tomato sauce
-1 cup cream
-1 cup fresh basil leaves

Saute onion and garlic with olive oil in a sauce pan. After around 8 minutes add diced tomato to pan and sprinkle in salt. Cook tomatoes for a few minutes and add tomato sauce. Stir the mixture and cook on medium heat until it begins to simmer slightly. Put the soup mixture into a food processor with the fresh basil leaves. Pulse mixture 15-20 times until basil has been chopped and incorporated throughout the soup. While your tomato mix is out of the pan, put the cream into the pan on a medium low heat. Once the tomato mixture is mixed to your liking add it back into the pan with the cream. Now your soup is almost ready. Just simmer on low for ten minutes, remove from heat, and serve.
