Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the diced tomatoes, including their juices, and the tomato sauce. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Add the vegetable broth, sugar or honey, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Use an immersion blender to carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches, blending until smooth, and then returning it to the pot.

Step 8

After blending, return the pot to low heat. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until well incorporated. Heat the soup gently; do not let it boil after adding the cream.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Once the soup is heated through and seasoned to your liking, remove it from the heat.

Step 11

Ladle the tomato soup into serving bowls.

Step 12

If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
