How to Make Homemade Quick Tomato Soup

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan.
2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until softened.
3. Stir in 28 ounces (794g) canned crushed tomatoes, 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
5. Carefully puree the soup using an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender and puree until smooth. (If using a regular blender, vent the lid to prevent pressure buildup.)
6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with a swirl of cream or fresh basil (optional).
