Ingredients
For the Soup:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cans of canned whole tomatoes (two 28 oz cans)
3 cups vegetable broth, low sodium
1½ cups cottage cheese, 2% MF
Pepper to taste
Optional Garnishes:
parmesan
basil
Instructions
Add oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add the onions and cook until softened, for 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute before adding the salt. Deglaze the pot with a splash of the vegetable broth if necessary.
Add tomato paste to the pot and cook for a minute. Add the sugar and dried basil and give everything a stir.
Add the canned tomatoes (with the liquid!) and the vegetable broth. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more salt at this stage if desired.
Add the soup to the blender along with cottage cheese. Blend until smooth. Be cautious blending hot soup to allow steam to escape. You may need to blend in batches.
Serve as is or top with your favorite garnishes like parmesan, basil, and pepper.
