Method
Place a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic with a splash of water and sauté until they are soft and fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and the vegetable broth to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes until the tomatoes have completely broken down.
Stir in the fresh basil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of stevia to balance the acidity.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until it reaches your desired consistency.
Simmer for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld, then serve hot.
Notes
Use the ripest tomatoes available for a naturally sweeter flavor profile.
If you don't have an immersion blender, let the soup cool slightly and use a standard blender in small batches.
For a smoky twist, you can char the tomatoes in a dry pan before adding them to the broth.
Ensure your vegetable broth has no added sugars or oils to remain Phase 2 compliant.
