\n\u2022 0.8 medium onion, chopped
\n\u2022 2.3 garlic cloves, minced
\n\u2022 1.5 tablespoons tomato paste
\n\u2022 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
\n\u2022 21 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
\n\u2022 2.3 cups vegetable or chicken stock
\n\u2022 0.8 tablespoons sugar
\n\u2022 0.8 teaspoons dried basil
\n\u2022 0.4 teaspoons dried thyme

Steps<\/p>\n
1 Saut\u00e9 aromatics: Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.\u00a0 Add 3 garlic cloves, minced and cook 1 minute more, until fragrant.<\/p>\n
2 Build the base: Stir in 1.5 tablespoons tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen the flavor. Sprinkle in 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.<\/p>\n
3 Add tomatoes and simmer: Pour in 16-20 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes (or pieces) breaking them up with a spoon, then add 2 1\/2 cups vegetable or chicken stock, 1 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoons dried basil, and 1\/2\u00a0 teaspoons dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/p>\n
Decide if you want it creamy or rustic.\u00a0 If creamy, do Step 4.\u00a0 Otherwise, move on to Step 5<\/p>\n
4 Blend until smooth: Remove from heat and puree the soup using an immersion blender (or in batches in a stand blender) until completely smooth.\u00a0 Add back to pot.<\/p>\n
5 Finish with cream: Return the pot to low heat. Stir in 3\/4 cups heavy cream, 1.2 teaspoons salt, and scant black pepper. Warm through gently for 3 minutes; do not let it boil.<\/p>\n
6 Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with 1-2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (for garnish). Serve with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich.<\/p>\n
