Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs (about 6–8 medium) of ripe tomatoes
1 cup, packed of fresh basil leaves
1 medium of onion, diced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
4 cups of vegetable broth
1 can (13.5 oz) of coconut milk
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of sugar (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by washing the fresh tomatoes under cool running water. Remove the stems and cut them into quarters. For those using canned tomatoes, simply open the can and set aside. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Next, toss in the chopped fresh tomatoes or the canned tomatoes along with the vegetable broth. Bring it all to a simmer and allow it to bubble gently for about 15 minutes.
Once the mixture has simmered, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. Carefully transfer it in batches to a blender, or use an immersion blender for ease, and blend until smooth.
Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the coconut milk, and add the fresh basil leaves, reserving a few for garnish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once everything is warmed through, ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with a few fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil for presentation.
