Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (unsweetened, canned)
- 2 cups Vegetable broth (low-sodium)
- 1 medium Carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until translucent and softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and diced carrot to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
Add the fresh basil leaves to the pot and stir.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (in batches if necessary) and blend until smooth.
Return the soup to the pot, add optional coconut milk for creaminess, and stir well.
Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to taste.
Serve hot with additional fresh basil leaves for garnish, if desired.
