Low Sodium Tomato Basil Soup
How to Make It
Step 1
Dice yellow onion before you begin melting the butter in a large soup pot. Once the butter is melted in the pot, add your onions. Cover the pot with a lid and saute the onions over low heat until they’re translucent.
Step 2
Add minced garlic and chopped basil to the pot. Stir the ingredients into the onions, and let the garlic and basil cook until they become fragrant. Next, stir crushed tomatoes from a can into the pot.
Step 3
Simmer the tomatoes and onions while covered with a lid for about 5 minutes. Then, pour the broth into the pot, stir, then remove the pot from the stove. Away from the heat, use an immersion blender to blend the tomatoes and onions into a creamy soup.
Step 4
Return the pot of soup to the stove. Bring the soup to a simmer, and cook the soup until it reduces slightly to a thicker consistency. Salt and pepper your soup to taste, depending on your dietary needs. You may also add more chopped basil to the soup to your taste.
