Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Other Vegetables

    Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Combine Base Ingredients

    Pour in the canned whole tomatoes (with juice) and vegetable broth. Add bay leaves, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir to combine.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 5

    Add Herbs

    After 30 minutes, stir in the dried basil and dried oregano. Let the soup simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.

  3. 6

    Blend the Soup

    Remove the bay leaves. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches using a countertop blender.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.
