  • STEP 5.Stir in fresh basil and heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Cooking Tips

  • For a chunkier soup, you can leave some of the potatoes and tomatoes partially mashed instead of pureeing the entire soup.
  • If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor won't be as vibrant.
  • To make the soup vegan, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or cashew cream.

Storage and Serving

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the soup on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve the soup hot with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
