- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Stir well.
- Add the dried basil, salt, pepper, and sugar if you are using it.
- Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes to allow flavors to combine.
- Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Return the soup to the pot if necessary, reheat gently, and serve hot.
Notes
- For an extra thick soup, use only half the vegetable broth initially and add more as needed after blending.
- If you prefer a less intense coconut flavor, use light coconut milk, but the texture will be slightly less rich.
- Garnish with fresh basil or a swirl of olive oil before serving.
