Equipment
- Medium Saucepan or Small Stockpot
- An immersion blender (also called a stick blender)
Ingredients
- 1 (6 oz) can Tomato Paste
- 2 large cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium – small onion about 1 cup diced

- 1-2 TBSP Butter
- Salt and pepper to taste I usually do about 1 tsp salt & 1/4-1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp Dried Basil optional but highly recommended
Instructions
- To a saucepan on medium low heat, sauté the onion in the butter until the onion is translucent.
- When the onion is mostly translucent, mince the garlic and sauté it with the onion until fragrant.
- Add the tomato paste and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally to avoid burning the bottom.
- Add the broth and bring to a light simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If any scum forms, remove and discard it.
- After 5 minutes, blend all ingredients with your immersion blender until smooth.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Tip: To make this a high protein soup, add some small italian meatballs! They complement this tomato soup really well.
