Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 medium, chopped carrots
• 2 chopped celery stalks
• 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 0.25 cup, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh basil

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, chopped carrots, and chopped celery to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Add the dried basil, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Remove the bay leaf, and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the mixture to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.

Step 6

Return the pureed soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the coconut milk and allow the soup to heat through, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped basil if desired.
