Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Chop the fresh tomatoes and add them to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Stir well.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the mixture.

  5. 5

    Add Basil and Serve

    Stir in the chopped basil leaves and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with extra basil if desired.
