Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces Canned whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream (optional)
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Pour in the canned whole peeled tomatoes along with their juices, breaking the tomatoes up with a wooden spoon.
Add the vegetable broth, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (alternatively, allow the soup to cool slightly, then blend in batches in a countertop blender).
Return the soup to the pot and reheat gently over low heat. If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a creamier consistency.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
