Method

1

Dice the onion, garlic, and celery. Tear the fresh basil leaves into rough pieces.

2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, garlic, and celery; sauté until softened, about 5–7 minutes.

3

Pour in the vegetable broth and canned tomatoes with their juice. Bring to a simmer.

4

Simmer for 15–20 minutes until flavors meld. Stir in the fresh basil and cook for 1 more minute.

5

Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth (or carefully transfer to a blender in batches, then return to pot). Alternatively, leave it chunky if preferred.

6

Season with salt, black pepper, and sugar to taste. Stir in cream or yogurt if using.

7

Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve hot.
