Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Spanish onion, chopped
- 1 large clove garlic, roughly chopped
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 28-oz can whole peeled or chopped tomatoes
- 1 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1–2 Tbsp olive oil for cooking
- 1/4 –1/2 tsp Italian seasoning*
- Salt and Pepper to taste**
Instructions
- In your soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat and add onion and garlic and cook for about 5-8 minutes, until onions are soft but not browned. Add Italian seasoning and toast 5 seconds or so, just until you smell the aroma.
- Add broth, tomatoes, sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring it to a boil, reduce to simmer. Cook for about 20-30 minutes, until onions are soft.
- Let cool briefly, puree in batches and if you’re looking for smoother texture push with a spatula through a sieve.
- Reheat and enjoy!
Notes
- You can add anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 of Italian seasoning, depends on how strong do you prefer the flavor to be.
- ** as with all of my recipes I try not to use a lot of salt, especially here with canned tomatoes which are salty and vegetable broth. Keep that in mind when you season your soup.
