How to Make A Simple Tomato Soup Recipe Very Vegan Friendly

  1. If using fire-roasted tomatoes, drain off excess liquid.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pot (stovetop) or slow cooker (crockpot).
  3. Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened (3-5 minutes stovetop, or until tender in slow cooker).
  4. Stir in vegetable broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, and tomato paste.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, sugar, and basil.
  6. Stovetop: Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. For crock pot: Cook on low for 2-3 hours or high for 1-2 hours.
  7. Blend the soup using an immersion blender or carefully in a regular blender until smooth.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Garnish with fresh basil (optional) before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
