Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup, packed basil leaves
- 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the canned tomatoes (with their juice) and the vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the basil leaves and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk, and season the soup with salt, pepper, and sugar (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to ensure the flavors meld together.
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil leaves or a drizzle of coconut milk if desired.
