• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 ounces Chavrie goat cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, let the soup cool slightly, then blend in batches using a countertop blender.

Step 8

Once the soup is smooth, return it to the pot and bring it back to a low simmer.

Step 9

Stir in the Chavrie goat cheese, allowing it to melt into the soup for a creamy consistency. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Serve warm.
