Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 cups heavy cream (optional for creamier soup)
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 3–4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth, stirring to combine.
Add the sugar, salt, and ground black pepper to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the soup to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld together.
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth (if using a regular blender, blend in batches for safety).
Return the soup to the pot (if blended separately) and stir in the heavy cream, if desired, for a creamier texture.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if using, alongside crusty bread or crackers.
