  • 1 cup fresh basil (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 cups chicken stock

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange tomato halves on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about an hour until caramelized.

  3. Add crushed San Marzano tomatoes, chopped basil, and sugar to the pot. Reduce heat and simmer for ten minutes.
  4. Stir in roasted tomatoes and chicken stock; let simmer for thirty minutes while stirring occasionally.
  5. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth, then return it to low heat and stir in heavy cream until well combined.
