Tomato Soup Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned tomatoes (with their juice) and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Season the Soup

    Add the dried basil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir well and let simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend it to your desired consistency.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer flavor. Serve hot with your favorite bread.
