Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 medium celery stalks, chopped
- 28 ounces canned whole tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped carrots and celery to the pot, and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Pour in the canned whole tomatoes with their juices and use a spoon to break them up into chunks.
Add the chicken broth, bay leaf, and dried thyme to the pot.
Season with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine all ingredients well.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with fresh chopped basil leaves before serving warm.
