Ingredients
  

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon salt (to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Croutons, for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Simmer Base: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the dried basil, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

      Combine Cream and Vinaigrette: In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and balsamic vinaigrette dressing until well combined. Gradually add this mixture to the soup, stirring continuously.

        Add Vegetables: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped spinach to the pot. Stir well and allow it to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, just until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are softened.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed—add more salt or pepper according to your preference.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves and croutons for a delightful crunch.
