Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion or leek
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (32 ounce) container chicken broth, or more as needed
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1 Tbs tomato paste (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons uncooked jasmine rice
  • 1 Tbs white sugar, or to taste
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves, divided
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided
Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and celery with a pinch of salt until onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Pour chicken broth and tomatoes and tomato paste into onion mixture. Bring to a simmer and season with paprika, black pepper. Turn heat to low and stir rice into soup; skim foam occasionally and simmer until rice and vegetables are very tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Add sugar.
  3. Blend soup with an immersion blender in the pot until smooth. Whisk ½ cup cream into soup and adjust levels of salt, black pepper, and sugar. If soup is too thick, add more broth; if soup is too thin, cook, stirring often, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Ladle into warmed bowls; garnish each bowl with a drizzle of cream and top with about 1 teaspoon chopped basil.
Notes
  • I reduced the garlic in the original recipe and increased sugar reflected above
