Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup heavy cream (optional, for serving)
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the canned tomatoes (including their juice) and use a spoon to gently break them up into smaller pieces.
Step 5
Add the vegetable broth, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend to your desired consistency.
Step 8
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Ladle the soup into bowls and, if desired, drizzle with a splash of heavy cream and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
