Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup, packed basil leaves
• 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to taste)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the canned tomatoes (with their juice) and the vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the basil leaves and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the coconut milk, and season the soup with salt, pepper, and sugar (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to ensure the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil leaves or a drizzle of coconut milk if desired.
