1. Core and roughly chop the Roma tomatoes into quarters.
2. In a medium-sized pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
3. Add the chopped tomatoes and minced garlic to the pot. Stir to combine.
4. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes become soft and start to break down.
5. Add the fresh basil leaves, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to the soup. Stir well.
6. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend until creamy, then return to the pot.
7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the soup tastes too acidic, add a stevia packet to balance the flavors.
8. Simmer the blended soup for 2-3 more minutes to meld the flavors.
9. Remove the soup from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with an extra basil leaf, if desired.
10. Divide the soup into two servings and enjoy your delicious, Phase 2-compliant tomato basil soup!
