Begin by selecting the freshest tomatoes you can find. If possible, opt for tomatoes grown in greenhouses or your garden, as they are flavorful.

In a pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and minced garlic, allowing them to soften and release their aroma. Once golden, add a handful of torn basil leaves for a fragrant touch.

Transfer the sautéed mixture to a blender. Add the star ingredient—fresh tomatoes! Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. The vibrant red color will have your mouth watering in anticipation.

Return the blended mixture to the pot and pour in a generous amount of cream. Stir gently to incorporate the creamy goodness with the tomato base.

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of fresh basil. This enhances the flavor and adds a visual appeal that’s hard to resist.
