Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)

1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (for creaminess)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable (or chicken) broth. Stir well to combine.

      Season the Soup: Add the dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. If desired, mix in the tablespoon of sugar to cut through the acidity of the tomatoes.

        Simmer: Raise the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

          Blend for Smoothness: If you prefer a smooth soup, carefully use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender (just be cautious of the hot liquid).

            Creamy Finish: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk, and heat through for another minute or two. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and enjoy with your favorite bread or grilled cheese!
