Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion finely chopped.
2 cloves of garlic, minced.
2 tablespoons of CBD oil (ensure to buy a food-grade product)
1 can (28 ounces) of whole peeled diced tomatoes in juice
1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon of sugar
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup of heavy cream
Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
- Carefully heat the olive oil in a large pot over a medium heat. Add the chopped onions, cooking until they’re softened and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Reduce heat to low, then add the CBD oil to the pot. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes to fully blend the oil with the onions and garlic.
- Add the canned diced tomatoes, including their juice, chicken or vegetable broth, sugar, salt, and pepper. Slowly increase heat to bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender (in batches, if necessary), puree the soup until smooth.
- Stir in the heavy cream and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of CBD oil.
