Instructions
- Rinse the tomatoes and basil leaves in cold water. Let dry.
- Put the olive oil and onions in a medium (3-4 quart) pot, and then brown over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Cook until the onions are light brown, soft, and translucent.
- Add the tomatoes, basil, and pepper to the pot. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and cooked through.
- Allow the pot to cool for 5 minutes. Use an immersion blender (stick blender) to blend for 60 seconds, pulsing frequently to be sure no large chunks remain and move to a new pot or bowl.
- Rinse the pot, place a large sieve over it, and then strain the blended tomato mixture through it to remove any large pieces.
- Add the chicken broth to the tomato puree in the pot, and then warm it over low heat, until it starts to steam. Do not let it boil.
- Remove soup from heat, and then whisk in the cream.
- Salt to taste.
