Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, carrot, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Gather Ingredients

    Ensure all ingredients are measured and ready for cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

    Pour in the canned tomatoes (with juices) and the vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

  3. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Add the dried basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Blending and Finishing

  1. 7

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender or a countertop blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a countertop blender, be careful to allow steam to escape.

  2. 8

  3. 9

    Garnish

    Serve the bisque hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
