Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 1 carrot diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 cups tomatoes diced; about 2 pounds of tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and carrots, cooking until they soften and the onions become translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute, stirring to prevent burning.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, bringing the soup to a simmer.
  • Simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes until the veggies are tender and the tomatoes have broken down.
  • Blend the soup with an immersion blender or in batches in a blender until smooth and creamy.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. If it’s too thin, simmer for a bit longer to thicken.
  • Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • A high-powered blender gives the creamiest texture.
  • Stir in a splash of cream at the end for extra richness.
  • This soup freezes well, so make a big batch and store leftovers.
  • If it’s too thin, just let it simmer longer to reduce the liquid.
