Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 Celery stalks, finely chopped
• 4 medium Tomatoes, ripe and chopped
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (unsweetened)
• 4 cups Vegetable broth (low sodium)
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the broth simmer for 20 minutes to deepen the flavors.

Step 6

Remove the bay leaf from the broth. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth, or leave it chunky if you prefer a more rustic texture.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Serve the broth warm on its own, or use it as a base for other soups or low-carb meals. Enjoy!
