Tomato Soup with Basil
This super flavorful vegan Tomato Soup with Basil is an easy and quick meal that is ready in 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 ½ cups tomato puree
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 9 oz uncooked vegan tortellini pasta (250 g) (or any pasta you like)
- 1 ½ cups fresh basil leaves (finely chopped)
- vegan parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the vegan tortellini (or the pasta of your choice) in slightly salted water until al dente. Drain, then rinse with cold water and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add the tomato puree, dried basil, dried thyme, ground black pepper and salt to the pot and stir everything together. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 20 minutes (stir every 5 minutes). At the end of cooking, taste the soup and add more salt/seasoning if needed.
- Remove from heat and using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. (Blending the soup can cool it down, so reheat if necessary.)
- Stir in the cooked pasta and ladle the soup into bowls.
- Top the soup with a generous amount of chopped fresh basil and (optional) vegan parmesan cheese.
