Low-Point Tomato Soup Directions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomatoes (or canned tomatoes) to the pot, along with the vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches.
- If using, stir in the almond milk to add a touch of creaminess.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
