2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Optional: fresh basil leaves, sour cream for garnish
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté onion, garlic, and carrots until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
2. Transfer the sautéed mixture to the Crockpot. Add tomatoes with juices, vegetable broth, salt, pepper, and dried basil. Stir well.
3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
4. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth directly in the Crockpot.

Notes
For a vegan version, use coconut cream and plant-based butter.
Add roasted red peppers for a smoky twist before blending.
If freezing, wait to add cream until reheating for best texture.
