Pantry ingredients combine for a comforting tomato soup that’s rich and creamy. The soup gets that creaminess from canned white beans and sautéed onions, which—when pureed—lend velvety, silky texture. If you have fresh basil in your fridge or in a windowsill pot, it offers prime herb flavor. If not, dried basil works, too, and adds a little earthiness. You can use either a traditional blender or immersion blender to puree; the former yields a smoother texture and the latter a more rustic vibe.
