Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Sautéing the Base

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

  2. 2

    Cooking the Tomatoes

    Add the fresh tomatoes to the pot and stir well. Cook for another 10 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.

  3. 3

    Adding Broth and Seasoning

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add salt, black pepper, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blending the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend to your desired consistency.

  5. 5

    Finishing Touches

    Stir in the fresh basil leaves and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Ladle the soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm.
