Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 carrot
• 1 celery stalk
• 28 ounces canned unsalted crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 5 fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and dice the carrot and celery stalk.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Add the canned unsalted crushed tomatoes, low sodium vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, black pepper, and sugar to the pot. Stir everything to combine.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 20 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

After 20 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.

Step 6

Return the pot to low heat and let the soup gently reheat for another 5 minutes if necessary.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, keeping in mind this is meant to be low sodium.

Step 8

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
