Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
When hot, add the onion and garlic cloves, cooking until transparent, about 5-6 minutes.
Add the tomato puree and broth. Season with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and hot sauce. Stir and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat, and transfer to a blender. Blend the ingredients together until smooth, then pour in the heavy whipping cream. Measure in the basil, too, and blend until smooth.
Spoon out the soup into bowls. Chiffonade another fresh basil leaf, topping the soup with the herb garnish, and enjoy warm.

Notes

Double the recipe for a crowd! This soup is so comforting and perfect for a soup party.
Freeze the leftovers (or make a batch to freeze.) Simply put the room temperature soup into a freezer-safe storage container. Freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat it, let it thaw in the fridge and reheat in the microwave in 30 second bursts.
Customize it to your tastebuds. If you're not a fan of heat, I suggest using half of the suggested hot sauce and half of the red pepper flakes, too. Taste as you go and add more if you can handle it. Because there's nothing more frustrating than making a dish that's too spicy for you to handle.
Make it vegan with a simple swap. Instead of using heavy whipping cream, turn this into vegan tomato soup by using coconut cream. Easy peasy and fantastic if you're cooking for people who have different diets than your own.
