Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Tips

• For a vegan version, use olive oil instead of butter and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
• Soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for 3 months.
• Garnish with extra basil or croutons if desired.
