Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and diced carrots, sautéing for about 5–7 minutes until the onions become translucent and the carrots soften.
- Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well. Then, pour in half a cup of white wine, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to bubble gently for about 10 minutes.
- Toss in a handful of fresh basil leaves, stirring to incorporate their aromatic essence. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it is completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the mixture on low for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Ladle the soup into warm bowls, garnishing with additional fresh basil leaves if desired.

Notes
For best results, blend the soup smoothly for a creamy consistency. Adjust seasonings to balance the sweetness of carrots with the acidity of tomatoes.
