Looking for a soup to warm your soul as winter loosens its grasp on our country? Try this Spicy Tomato Soup, a heat-filled and warming soup for a cold day.
0 Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
1 When hot, add the onion and garlic cloves, cooking until transparent, about 5-6 minutes.
2 Add the tomato puree and broth. Season with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and hot sauce. Stir and bring to a boil.
3 Remove from heat, and transfer to a blender. Blend the ingredients together until smooth, then pour in the heavy whipping cream. Measure in the basil, too, and blend until smooth.
4 Spoon out the soup into bowls. Chiffonade another fresh basil leaf, topping the soup with the herb garnish, and enjoy warm.
