Blender puree soup
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. Pureed soup is easy to make, and most importantly, it can be made with almost any ingredients. You can make a pureed soup from chicken broth or even from fish broth (for example, with salmon). Italian-style pureed soup is most commonly made from tomatoes. To prepare pureed soup in a blender, I usually use a couple of cans of canned tomatoes in tomato puree. If you can't find suitable canned tomatoes in the store, you can use fresh ones instead. Serve with herbs and sour cream.
Instructions

Step 1
Peel the carrot, slice it into rings, not too small, medium-sized pieces. Cut the onion into cubes.

Step 2
Pour olive oil into a large pot, making sure not only the bottom but also the sides are coated with oil (to prevent the vegetables from burning). Then add carrots, onion, and dried basil. Mix well and sauté over medium heat until the vegetables are browned, about 10–12 minutes.

Step 3
Then add the tomatoes: if using fresh ones, they must be blanched and peeled. If using canned, simply add them whole, together with the tomato puree from the cans. By the way, you can also add tomato puree (or paste, as a last resort) to the fresh tomatoes. Pour in the broth and mix well.
