Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

2 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup heavy cream or non-dairy alternative for creaminess (optional)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a medium-sized pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it's translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.

      Add Broth & Season: Add the vegetable broth, dried basil, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well mixed.

        Simmer: Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

          Blend (Optional): For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot (or you can transfer it in batches to a countertop blender).

            Creamy Finish: If you prefer a creamy tomato soup, stir in the heavy cream or non-dairy alternative and heat through without boiling.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and enjoy your quick and cozy tomato delight!
