Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces Canned whole tomatoes
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream or coconut cream (optional)
- 1 large Avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional, 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 translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the canned tomatoes with their juices, vegetable broth, dried basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, work in batches and be careful with the hot liquid.
If desired, stir in the heavy cream or coconut cream for added richness.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with diced avocado.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
