For a richer flavor, roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes. Adjust the amount of basil to your preference. Some may prefer a more pronounced basil flavor. If you don't have heavy cream, half-and-half can be substituted, but the soup will be slightly less rich. To make this soup vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
