Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and chop the tomatoes, onion, carrot, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Cook the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the chopped tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

  2. 5

    Simmer

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

  3. 6

    Blend the Soup

    Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth.

Finishing Touches

    Add Basil

    Stir in the fresh basil leaves and let it sit for an additional 5 minutes to infuse the flavor.

  2. 8
