How to Make Backyard Garden Tomato Soup

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in chopped tomatoes, vegetable broth, oregano, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until tomatoes are soft.
  4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth.
  5. Return the soup to the pot. Stir in heavy cream or coconut milk and chopped basil. Heat through, but do not boil.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
