Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup macaroni pasta, uncooked
- 0.25 cup heavy cream (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes to caramelize the tomato paste slightly.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth, then stir in the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the uncooked macaroni and cook in the soup for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
If desired, stir in the heavy cream to give the soup a creamy texture and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the soup from heat and ladle into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley if using.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting bowl of macaroni tomato soup!
