Directions:

Step 1

First, prep the ingredients. Chop 1 yellow onion and mince 6 cloves of garlic. In a big pot, add 2 tbsp unsalted butter and 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil. Set the stove on medium heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the chopped onions and stir occasionally for about 8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and by this time, stir them constantly as the garlic burn fast. Cook it for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add 2 cans of whole peeled tomatoes. Next, add 3 cups of chicken stock (It can also be water or any stock you want), 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper.

After it is reduced, pulse the soup until smooth consistency. (You can use an immersion blender, a potato ricer, or a masher for this.) Finish off the soup by adding 3/4 cup of heavy cream and stirring it in to combine. Transfer into a bowl and put some fresh basil over the top.
