Heat oil and butter in a large saucepan until foaming, Add the onion and cook gently for about 5 min, stirring frequently, until softened but not brown.

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and garlic, then add the stock, white wine and tomato paste with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, half cover the pan and simmer gently for 20 min, stirring occasionally to prevent the tomatoes from sticking.

Process the soup with the shredded basil in a blender or food processor.

Add the heavy cream and heat through, stirring. Do not let the soup boil. Check the consistency and add more stock if necessary and then taste for seasoning. Pour into heated bowls, garnish with basil and serve immediately.
