Soup Ingredients

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and the vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Infuse with Saffron

    Add the saffron threads and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season and Blend

    Season with black pepper to taste. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.

  5. 5

    Finish the Soup

    Stir in the chopped fresh basil and lemon juice. Heat for another 5 minutes and adjust seasoning if necessary.
