- 3 large carrots peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 2 small sweet onions roughly chopped
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and left whole
- 2-3 teaspoons salt start with less and add to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 28-ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes
- 1 quart low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 C basil rough chopped
- 1/2 C heavy cream
- Freshly grated Parmesan for garnish, optional
Place all of the ingredients, except for half and half and Parmesan into a very large slow cooker. Top with the lid and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 5-7 hours. The vegetables should be very soft at that point.
Use immersion blender (with foil covering slow cooker to contain splatter) and blend until smooth. Add in heavy cream and keep warm.
Taste for additional spices.
Serve up and sprinkle with Parmesan.
