Ingredient notes

Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh basil if available instead of dried.

Tips from Cowboy Kent Rollins’s video

Sauté the onions for 8-10 minutes until softened before blending for a smoother texture.
For a creamier soup, feel free to add more than the 2.5 cups of heavy cream specified in the recipe.
Be cautious when simmering; a thick-bottomed pot helps prevent scorching.
