I'm looking for a recipe for a good tomato soup.
assistant
1. Start by gathering the ingredients you'll need for your tomato soup.
2. Heat up some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
3. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add diced tomatoes, vegetable or chicken broth, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to the pot.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
6. Once the soup has cooked down slightly, add cream, if desired.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
