Print Recipe

A simple, comforting tomato basil soup made with just four ingredients and slow-cooked to creamy perfection. Perfect for cozy dinners and easy to prepare with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (28 oz each) crushed tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed (or 1 tbsp dried basil)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (240 ml), low-sodium preferred

Instructions

  1. Open the cans of crushed tomatoes. Rinse and roughly chop the fresh basil leaves. Measure out the vegetable broth and heavy cream.
  2. Pour both cans of crushed tomatoes into the crockpot, then add the vegetable broth. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add the chopped basil leaves to the crockpot and stir in.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours (or 4 hours on high for a quicker version).
  5. After cooking, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer to a blender in batches and puree.
  6. Slowly stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Taste and add salt (about ½ tsp) and pepper (about ¼ tsp) as needed.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with a fresh basil leaf or a drizzle of cream if desired.

Notes

If the soup is too thick after blending, add more broth or water to reach desired consistency. For chunkier texture, blend less or reserve some basil to stir in fresh. Use coconut milk instead of heavy cream for dairy-free or vegan versions. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. When blending hot liquids, use caution to avoid splashing. Add cream at the end to prevent curdling.
