Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
• 3 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Basil leaves, fresh (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Sugar (to balance acidity)
• 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk (or another dairy-free milk of choice)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Dried small pasta (like ditalini or elbow macaroni)
• 4 cups Water (for boiling pasta)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the canned crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, basil leaves, dried oregano, and sugar to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 6

While the soup is simmering, cook the pasta separately. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot, then add the dried pasta. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 7

Once the soup has simmered, use an immersion blender (or transfer the soup to a blender in batches) to puree the soup until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

Step 8

Stir in the unsweetened coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 9

To serve, ladle the tomato soup into bowls and top with a portion of the cooked pasta.

Step 10

Optionally, garnish with additional fresh basil leaves or a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.
