Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 carrot
- 1 celery stalk
- 28 ounces canned unsalted crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 5 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and dice the carrot and celery stalk.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
Add the canned unsalted crushed tomatoes, low sodium vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, black pepper, and sugar to the pot. Stir everything to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 20 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
After 20 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.
Return the pot to low heat and let the soup gently reheat for another 5 minutes if necessary.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, keeping in mind this is meant to be low sodium.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
