Ingredients

• 6 medium (around 2 lbs) ripe tomatoes
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large celery stalk
• 1 medium carrot
• 4 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
• 1 whole bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and core the tomatoes, then roughly chop them into large chunks.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic cloves.

Step 3

Wash the celery and carrot, then chop them into small pieces for easier blending.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the diced onion, garlic, celery, and carrot to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable stock, then add the bay leaf and dried thyme. Stir everything together.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the broth simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Remove the pot from the heat and take out the bay leaf.

Step 10

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the contents of the pot until smooth (or transfer the mixture to a countertop blender and blend in batches if necessary).

Step 11

Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 12

Ladle the warm tomato broth into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 13

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
