Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups heavy cream (optional)
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Add the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
For a creamy texture, stir in the heavy cream, if using. Blend the soup with an immersion blender directly in the pot or transfer it to a countertop blender for a smoother consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot with crusty bread or croutons, if desired.
