INGREDIENTS

CONVERSION CALCULATOR

Place the chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic, and 1/4 tsp salt into a large pot over medium-high heat.
Cook, while breaking up the tomatoes, until the liquid in the pan begins to boil rapidly.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, occasionally breaking up the tomatoes, for about 5 minutes.
Use an immersion blender, or a stand blender in batches, to blend the soup well.
Place a colander over a container then pour the blended tomatoes through the colander and stir the blended tomatoes to filter out any seeds and skin.
Discard the skin and seeds then put the blended tomatoes back into the pot over medium heat.
Stir in the oregano, crushed red pepper, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper and bring to a slight boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low then stir in the heavy cream and simmer over medium-low until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the fresh basil then season with salt and pepper to taste.
