Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion,  diced
  • 1 carrot,  chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 12 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Dash of crushed red pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup  almond milk, can use heavy cream
  • Freshly chopped basil and croutons for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook until soften, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic, tomato paste, and bay leaves. Stir until the tomato paste is mixed in.
  • Add the tomatoes, roasted red peppers, vegetable broth, sugar, dried thyme, and crushed red pepper. Stir to combine. Reduce to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the almond milk (or cream) and basil. Remove the bay leaves. Turn off the heat and use a hand blender to purée the soup in the pot.

  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil and croutons, if desired.
