Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• Fresh herbs for garnish

How to Make Creamy Tomato Soup with Herb Infusion

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juices and the vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
5. Return the pot to low heat and stir in the heavy cream. If desired, add sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Mix in the chopped fresh herbs and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ripe, high-quality canned tomatoes for the best flavor.
• Adjust the herbs according to your preference; oregano or dill can also work beautifully.
• If you want a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.

Easy Variations

• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
• Incorporate roasted red peppers for a smoky flavor.
• Blend in some cooked carrots or bell peppers for added nutrition and sweetness.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled cheese sandwiches for a classic pairing.
• Crusty bread or baguette for dipping.
• A fresh garden salad to add crunch and freshness.
• Croutons for an extra layer of texture.
