Tomato soup is a comforting and satisfying dish that can be made with just a few ingredients. Start by sautéing chopped onions and minced garlic in a pot until they are soft and fragrant. Add canned crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and stir in some heavy cream or coconut milk for added richness. Serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh basil or a dollop of sour cream. Tomato soup is perfect for a cozy lunch or dinner, especially when paired with a grilled cheese sandwich.
