Provided by The Times staff

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 12 to 14

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup olive oil
5 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 (28-ounce) cans whole Italian-style tomatoes in puree
3 (32-ounce) boxes low-sodium chicken broth (12 1/4 cups)
2 cups heavy cream
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil leaves

Steps:

In a 6- to 8-quart saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the carrots, onion and dried basil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10 to 12 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, including the puree, and the broth, and bring to just a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes to blend the flavors.
Remove from the heat. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor fitted with a metal blade. Return the pureed soup to the saucepan, add the cream and place over medium heat. Warm until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle the soup into a warmed soup tureen or individual bowls, garnish with the basil leaves and serve immediately.

Combine all ingredients, adding each one slowly, stirring constantly to smooth out the lumps as you go -- (NOTE: I believe Michelle told me to use a hand mixer to smooth out any lumps BEFORE you add the basil, salt & pepper.).
Bring to a simmer (just bubbly around the edges) - DO NOT BOIL.
Simmer slowly for at least 40 minutes, then serve with buttered, crusty bread. YUM!
