Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | onions |
| 2 | garlic cloves |
| 4 | cups stewed tomatoes |
| 1 | tablespoon tomato paste |
| 3 | cups vegetable stock |
| 1/4 | teaspoon pepper |
| 1/4 | cup olive oil |
Instructions:
-
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers invitingly.

Add finely chopped onions and minced garlic cloves to the saucepan, stirring occasionally until they soften and become translucent, releasing their savory aroma into the air.
-
Pour in the stewed tomatoes, vegetable stock, tomato paste, and a dash of freshly ground pepper, stirring gently to combine all the flavors into a harmonious blend.
-
Allow the mixture to reach a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for approximately 15 minutes, or until the soup has slightly thickened, infusing your kitchen with the comforting scent of tomatoes and spices.
-
At this point, if you prefer a smoother texture, you can opt to use an immersion blender or a food processor to carefully puree the soup until it reaches your desired consistency, ensuring a velvety smooth finish that will delight your taste buds.
-
Once the soup reaches the desired consistency, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more pepper or salt according to your preference.
-
Ladle the warm and fragrant tomato soup into bowls, garnish with a sprig of fresh basil or a dollop of creamy yogurt if desired, and serve immediately alongside crusty bread or a simple green salad for a satisfying meal that will warm both body and soul.
