Creamy Tomato and Basil Soup

I love soup! This easy to make tomato soup, is a good starter to any dinner or an ideal lunch all-year around. Will take you 10-15 minuets to prepare. You need a mixer/blender. Serve with french baguette.

This recipe is for 2-3 people.

You need:

1 can crushed tomato
1/2 - 1 can chicken broth (you could easily replace it with veggie broth if you are vegetarian)
10 - 15 fresh basil leaves
1 dl (1/3 -1/2 cup) heavy whipping cream
sugar, salt, pepper, (optional: 1 teaspoon dry oregano) to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat crushed tomatoes, chicken broth and chopped basil leaves in a pan until it starts boiling.

2. Add the tomato-mix in a blender and mix for 1-2 min, until smooth.(Tip: Make sure the lid is sealed on the blender, if you don't want to spend the next hour cleaning the kitchen =)
 
3. Add the mix back to the pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer. Add sugar, salt, pepper and dry oregano. Taste the soup as you add the flavors. 1-2 tablespoon sugar is recommended.

4. Add the heavy whipping cream. Bring back to boil. Make sure you stir the soup so it doesn't burn after adding the cream.

Enjoy!
