Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced onion
½ cup diced celery
1 pinch salt
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (32 ounce) container chicken broth, or more as needed
1 (28 ounce) can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
½ teaspoon paprika
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 tablespoons uncooked jasmine rice
1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste
½ cup heavy whipping cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves, divided
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and celery with a pinch of salt until onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Pour chicken broth and tomatoes into onion mixture. Bring to a simmer and season with paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Turn heat to low and stir rice into soup; skim foam occasionally and simmer until rice and vegetables are very tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Add sugar.

Ladle into warmed bowls; garnish each bowl with a drizzle of cream and top with about 1 teaspoon chopped basil.
