Ingredients
Method
- Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and blend the soup with an immersion blender until completely smooth.
- Stir in the cold heavy cream, adjust salt and pepper to taste, then ladle into bowls. Drizzle with a little cream or olive oil and serve hot.
Notes
Cold cream stirred into the hot soup off the heat gives the best texture. If you need to reheat leftovers, do it gently over low heat and avoid boiling to keep the cream from separating. A quick stir brings it back together.
