Recipe

Ingredients

• 2x 28 oz. canned crushed tomatoes

• 1 White onion, diced

• 2 cloves minced garlic

• 16 oz. (2 Cups) vegetable broth

• 2 Tbsp coconut sugar

• 1 Tbsp kosher salt, plus more to taste

• 1 tsp pepper

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 2 Tbsp butter (or vegan butter)

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large caste iron pot (or large sauce pot).

2. Add the diced onion, garlic and salt to the pot and reduce down until the onion is translucent, above 3 minutes.

3. Add the vegetable broth, canned tomatoes and coconut sugar. Simmer over medium-low heat for 30-40 minutes. Lower the temperature as needs so the soup stays below a boil.

4. For a creamy soup, use an emulsion blender to blend the soup until smooth or allow to cool before transferring to a standing blender to blend until smooth. Serve on its own or with grilled cheese. Enjoy!
