Cook Time 20 mins
- 1 cup onions chopped
- 4 cloves garlic sliced
- 1 14 oz. can fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 28 oz. can whole tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper
- ½ tsp basil
- 1 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves

Saute onions until translucent, about three minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
Add in both cans of tomatoes with their juices, dry basil, oregano, salt and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add fresh basil and blend soup using an immersion blender or regular blender, being careful not to overfill your blender. You may need to blend in 2-3 batches.
Transfer soup back to the pot and add heavy cream to taste. Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches or fresh bread.
