Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 1 carrot, grated

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes

  • 2 cups tomato juice

  • 1 (15 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, partially drained

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

  • 1 bunch fresh basil, roughly chopped, or to taste

Directions

  1. Heat butter and olive oil together in a large pot over medium heat; saute onion and carrot until softened, 4 to 6 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  2. Stir crushed tomatoes, tomato juice, and diced tomatoes into onion mixture; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, stir sugar into tomato mixture, and simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes. Add cream and simmer until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add basil to soup and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Serve chunky or puree with an immersion blender.
