Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat or light depending on preference)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, coconut milk, maple syrup, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Stir to combine all the ingredients and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a stand blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the saucepan.
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or spices if desired.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves. Pair with your favorite bread or a vegan side dish for a complete meal.
