Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon organic butter
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 celery stalks (chopped)
  • 1 carrot (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon sweet rice flour
  • 6 cups or 4 cans (15 ounces each diced organic tomatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon organic sugar
  • 4 leaves fresh basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • pinch of ground cayenne
  • 1/2 cup organic heavy cream
  • Garnish:
  • fresh basil leaves (julienned)

Instruction

  • Heat oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery and carrot; saute until soft, but do not brown. Stir in flour and cook another minute. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes. Stir in cream. Transfer to a blender and puree (you will probably have to do this in two batches). Garnish with julienned basil leaves and serve.
