Soup Recipe

Soup Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Tomatoes and Broth

   Stir in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

3. 3

   Simmer the Soup

   Once boiling, reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. 4

   Blend (Optional)

   For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer it to a blender in batches.

5. 5

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil. Serve hot, with focaccia bread on the side if desired.
