How to Make Italian Tomato-Basil Soup
This simple soup is a perfect companion to a grilled cheese sandwich or a fresh salad. But that's not all you can do with it! Serve it on top of pasta as a homemade, no-sugar-added marinara sauce (add some garlic and crushed red pepper for extra kick) or serve it chilled for a refreshing summer side dish.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook while stirring occasionally until fully softened, about 8 minutes.
-
Add the tomato purée, broth, and salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered, until flavors are combined, about 5 minutes. (Hint: For a thinner soup, drizzle in more broth.) Stir in the basil and vinegar.
-
Ladle into bowls. Serve hot or chilled.
