Directions
Start by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring to prevent it from burning. Next, pour in chicken stock, passata, salt, pepper, and basil leaves. Using an immersion blender, blend together until smooth. Lower heat and stir in heavy cream, allowing the soup to heat through for about 5 minutes without boiling. Garnish with basil. Serves 4.
