Time 1h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
4 cups ground tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon oregano
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream or 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Melt the butter with the oil over low heat in a heavy bottom pot.
  • Add the onion; wilt over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic during the last 2 minutes, stirring.
  • Add the tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover; cook over medium-low heat for 60 minutes. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Add basil. Stir in the cream or half & half, simmer for another 30 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
  • Note: When tomatoes are in-season use fresh tomatoes, blanch for 8 minutes and process with food processor. In the winter, use a San Marzano-type canned tomato, drain half of the liquid and process in food processor.
