Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce (pureed tomatoes)
- 1 can (15 oz) fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 large yellow onion (approx. 2-2.5 cups diced)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 TBSP grape seed or olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 2 celery stalks (approx. 1/2 cup diced)
- 10 baby carrots, chopped
- 5-6 oz cream cheese (or 1/2-3/4 cup of milk or cream)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1-2 TBSP Dried or fresh basil plus extra to garnish
- ½ tsp salt or season to taste
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Saute chopped onions, celery, and carrots in 2 TBSP oil until tender.
- Once the onions are translucent, add garlic and saute for about a minute or so to bring out the flavor.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Next add tomatoes, tomato sauce, cream cheese and broth and let simmer for 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have shacked up together.
- Taste for seasoning and add more salt, pepper, and the sugar, if needed.
- Next add your basil. If you're using plain dried basil, start with 1/2 Tbsp and then slowly add more to taste.
- Next, puree using an immersion blender until fabulously smooth and bisque-like. You can also blend the soup, in two batches, in your blender or food processor.
- Serve piping hot topped with fresh basil and deliciously cheesy mozz balls. You'll have a grand old time dunking your balls in this soup. Enjoy!
Notes
