  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups tomato juice
  • 1 (15 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, partially drained
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

  1. Heat butter and olive oil together in a large pot over medium heat; saute onion and carrot until softened, 4 to 6 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
