Chop 10 large fresh tomatoes and set aside.

In a white pan, add 50 grams of unsalted softened butter and melt it.

Add 6 to 7 finely chopped cloves of garlic and 1 bay leaf; sauté for about a minute.

Add 2 small chopped onions and sauté until transparent, about 2 minutes.

Chop 2 medium sized carrots and add them to the pan; sauté for another 2 minutes.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and mix well.

Season with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper; cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

Add 2 cups of water (500 ml) and cook the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes until the tomatoes and carrots are mushy.

Cool the mixture completely before pureeing.

Transfer the cooked mixture to a mixer jar and blend to a fine puree, adding water if required.

Pour the puree through a sieve to strain it completely for a smooth texture.

Transfer the strained puree back into the saucepan and add a cup of water, mixing it all together.

Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to balance the flavors and season with freshly crushed pepper.

Add a few fresh basil leaves and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
