Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 celery stalk, chopped
• 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 medium fresh tomatoes, chopped
• 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoons dried basil
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion, chopped celery, and chopped carrot, and sauté for 7-8 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the chopped fresh tomatoes, stirring well to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to begin breaking down.

Step 5

Pour in the low sodium vegetable broth and add the bay leaf, dried oregano, dried basil, and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the broth until smooth, or leave it slightly chunky if you prefer more texture.

Step 8

Taste the broth and adjust with additional black pepper, if needed. (Avoid adding salt to keep it low sodium.)

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy on its own or use as a base for other soups and stews.
