- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)

Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Add the Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes along with their juices, then add the vegetable broth, dried basil, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
