Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by pouring the canned whole peeled tomatoes into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the pureed tomatoes, chicken (or vegetable) stock, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, about 5 minutes.
  3. Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Taste the soup, and if it seems too acidic, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.
  4. Scoop out a ladle of hot soup and stir in the heavy cream, mixing gently for about 30 seconds.
  5. Gradually pour the tempered cream back into the soup pot while stirring continuously on low heat.
  6. Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Bring the soup back to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  8. Carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until ultra-smooth.
  9. Serve hot in bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, grilled cheese croutons, or fresh basil.
