Steps

1In large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery, carrots, and salt. Cook and stir until onions is translucent, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in garlic, cooking approximately 1 minute or until fragrant.
2Pour in chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Bring mixture to simmer, then season with paprika, black pepper, and sugar. Turn heat to low and simmer until vegetables are very soft, approximately 20 minutes.
3After vegetables soften, remove pot from heat. Insert immersion blender and blend until smooth. Return pot to heat. Slowly whisk in ½ cup heavy cream. Taste and add more salt, black pepper, or sugar if desired.Note: If bisque is too thick, add more broth. If bisque is too thin, continue cooking another 10 minutes or so, stirring often, until liquid has reduced and bisque has thickened.
4Ladle bisque into warmed bowls. Garnish each bowl with drizzle of heavy whipping cream and approximately 1 teaspoon chopped basil per bowl.
