🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 4 large, roughly chopped tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

2. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the onion is translucent.

3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

4. Add the roughly chopped tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to begin breaking down and releasing their juices.

5. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes to deepen the flavors.

6. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf, dried basil, salt, black pepper, sugar, and red pepper flakes.

7. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

8. Remove the bay leaf. For a smoother broth, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches the desired consistency, or leave it chunky if preferred.

9. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves or a dollop of sour cream for a richer flavor, if desired.
