Ingredients - Gather Your Supplies!

To create this tomato masterpiece, you’ll need the following:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes, with juice
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 teaspoon sugar (to combat the acidity)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Heavy cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt (optional, but why not?)

Let’s Get Cooking!

Now that we have our ingredients prepped and ready, let’s get to the fun part—cooking!

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. You want it soft and ready to mingle with the garlic.
Once the onions are looking fine, toss in the minced garlic and watch that sweetness bloom. Sauté for another minute until intoxicating aromas fill your kitchen.
Pour in the canned tomatoes (with juice) and the broth. Bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. This is when the magic happens, folks! The tomatoes will break down, melding beautifully with the broth.
Add in the sugar, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust—because who wants bland soup? Not you! Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth or transfer it to a traditional blender (let it cool a bit first, unless you fancy a tomato explosion in your kitchen).
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves, and a swirl of heavy cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt, if you’re feeling fancy. Pair it with a crusty slice of bread or a grilled cheese sandwich to complete the experience!

And there you have it! A classic tomato soup that’s sure to warm your heart and comfort your soul. Enjoy your cooking adventure!
