Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 0.5 lb shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Pour in the 28 oz crushed tomatoes and 2 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, until slightly thickened.

  3. Step 3

    Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, carefully transfer to a blender and blend in batches.)

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the 0.25 cup heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes until heated through.

  5. Step 5

    Ladle the soup into bowls, top with the cooked shrimp and 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves. Add a swirl of extra cream if desired.
