Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 medium Carrot, finely chopped
• 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes (unsalted)
• 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Small pasta (like ditalini or elbow macaroni)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and chopped carrot. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and stir well to combine with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 4

Add the vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 6

While the soup simmers, cook the pasta separately according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender (or transferring the soup to a blender in batches), carefully blend the soup to your desired consistency. It can be smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.

Step 8

Return the blended soup to the pot, if transferred, and heat over low. Add the cooked pasta and stir to combine.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
