Main Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter optional, for richness
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 0.75 cup diced carrot
  • 0.5 cup diced celery
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1.5 tbsp tomato paste
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • 28 oz fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
  • 3 cup low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar balances acidity
  • 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream optional, for a silky finish
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil for serving
  • 0.5 cup croutons for serving

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Warm olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Soften onion, carrot, and celery with a pinch of the salt, stirring, 6–8 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, tomato paste, smoked paprika, oregano, and red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant and darkened, 1–2 minutes.
  • Pour in fire-roasted tomatoes, broth, and sugar. Scrape the pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender, 15–20 minutes.
  • Blend the soup smooth with an immersion blender, or carefully blend in batches until velvety.
  • Stir in cream, remaining salt, and black pepper. Warm 2 minutes and adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with basil and croutons. Serve hot.

Notes

For a dairy-free soup, skip the butter and cream and add an extra splash of broth. Want it heartier? Stir in cooked cheese tortellini or top with grilled cheese croutons. The soup keeps 4 days refrigerated and freezes well up to 3 months.
