Here is the recipe for Option 1: Creamy Tomato Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 (28oz) cans crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, broth, dried basil, sugar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer.
3. Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can puree in batches in a blender.
5. Once blended, return the soup to low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to boil.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or sugar to taste.
7. Serve the creamy tomato soup warm, garnished with fresh basil, croutons, parmesan cheese or a grilled cheese sandwich on the side.[1][2][3][6]

This creamy tomato soup has a rich, velvety texture from the cream and a bright, sweet tomato flavor. The onions, garlic and dried basil add lovely aromatic notes. It’s the perfect comforting soup, especially paired with grilled cheese.
