Ingredients
  

4 cups ripe tomatoes, diced (about 8 medium tomatoes)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)

2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Crusty bread for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes: Stir in the diced tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.

      Season: Add the vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

        Creaminess Factor: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup to your desired consistency—smooth or leave some tomato chunks for texture. If using a traditional blender, blend in batches and return to the pot.

          Finish with Cream: Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) and let the soup simmer for another 5-10 minutes, just until heated through. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve with warm, crusty bread for dipping.
