Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 4 medium, chopped fresh tomatoes
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup heavy cream (optional)
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until the onion is softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the fresh tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down.
Stir in the vegetable broth, tomato paste, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a simmer and reduce the heat to low.
Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a creamier texture.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh basil leaves. Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
