Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 5 large plum tomatoes, fresh and chopped
• 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 5 fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, diced carrot, diced celery, and the vegetable broth.

Step 5

Add the dried basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it to a blender and blend in batches. Be cautious with hot liquids.

Step 8

Return the pureed soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the almond milk for a creamier consistency.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
