Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)

1 cup vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for a creamy version)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it's translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant, making sure not to let it burn.

    Add Tomatoes and Spices: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and the vegetable broth. Stir in the dried basil, oregano, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

      Simmer: Let the soup simmer for about 5-7 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

        Blend (Optional): If you prefer a creamy texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend in batches using a regular blender. Be cautious with hot liquids!

          Cream It Up: If you like your soup creamy, stir in the heavy cream at this stage and let it heat through for another 1-2 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of flavor and color. Enjoy your warm bowl of tomato bliss!
