Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 28 oz canned diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes
- 1½ cup vegetable broth
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Heat oil in a saucepan, sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes or until softened.
- Next, add the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, mix to combine.
- Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover with a lid.
- Cook, covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the soup from burning.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a blender to blend until smooth. Alternatively use an immersion blender to blend until smooth, adjust thickness by adding more broth if needed.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot with some crusty fresh bread, a sprinkle of dried red pepper flakes or a drizzle of cream or coconut cream.
Notes
- For additional flavor you can also add some minced garlic, dried mixed herbs, fresh oregano or fresh basil to the soup while cooking.
- Store cold soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- To reduce some the acidity of the soup you can add a tsp of sugar or a pinch of baking soda. Both of these ingredients helps to neutralize the acid from the tomatoes.
- If you’d prefer a creamier soup use vegan butter instead of olive oil when sautéing the onions.
- You can substitute the vegetable broth with water or even vegan chicken broth if preferred.
- Fresh diced tomatoes can be used instead of canned if preferred.
- Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding water after blending until desired thickness is achieved.
