In a soup or stock pot, heat the olive oil, when hot add the onion and cook until light golden brown.

Add the tomato puree, herbs, celery, tomatoes, tomato paste, and basil, and cook for 45 minutes.

Using an immersion blender, add some cream to your liking and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
