Ingredients
- 1 Vidalia onion diced
- 2-3 large carrots chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- 28 oz fire-roasted diced or crushed tomatoes
- 1-2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (or chicken broth if t-rex)
- 1-2 tsp sugar (optional; skip if low-carb/whole30)
- 1 TBSP tomato paste
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil or 1/2 tsp dried basil (plus extra to garnish)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Saute onions and carrots in 2 TBSP olive oil until tender. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add tomato paste and cook until toasted, approx. 1 minute.
- Next, add tomatoes and broth and let simmer for 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together. For a thicker soup, try it with just 1 cup of broth. Want a thinner tomato soup? Add 2 cups plus any extra to taste.
- Taste for seasoning and add more salt, pepper, and the sugar, if needed.
- Add basil, and puree using a hand held immersion blender or food processor until smooth.
- Serve with a sprinkle of fresh basil on top.
Notes
Craving cheese or some added creaminess? Feel free to add some grated parmesan or a swirl of cream or cream cheese. We love our fire-roasted tomato soup paired with an easy peasy grilled cheese sandwich and it's also great with a cheesy quesadilla dunked in it as well. It's unconventional, but crazy good!
