Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 Celery stalks, finely chopped
- 4 medium Tomatoes, ripe and chopped
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (unsweetened)
- 4 cups Vegetable broth (low sodium)
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the broth simmer for 20 minutes to deepen the flavors.
Remove the bay leaf from the broth. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth, or leave it chunky if you prefer a more rustic texture.
Stir in the chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the broth warm on its own, or use it as a base for other soups or low-carb meals. Enjoy!
