Ingredients
- 1 28 ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
- 1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 15 ounce can small white beans I used cannellini
- ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil or 2 tsp dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the minced garlic and onion to a pot with the olive oil.
- Saute for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
- Add in the tomato paste and saute an extra 2-3 minute.
- Add the oregano, red pepper flakes, paprika, salt, pepper, and chopped basil.
- Saute for 2 minutes.
- Add both cans of tomatoes and milk and stir well.
- Let simmer for 10 minutes over low heat.
- Transfer everything to the blender along with the drained and rinsed white beans. It helps to start your blender on the lowest speed and keep the lid slightly ajar to let some heat escape.
- Process until completely smooth.
- Serve with fresh basil and enjoy!
Notes
Once prepared, this soup will keep in the fridge for 5 days or in the freezer for 1 month.
Red, white, and yellow onions all work well in this recipe, but red onion will have the most intense flavor.
Be sure to process the soup until completely smooth. About 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on your blender.
This soup has a moderately thick and creamy consistency as is, but it isn't thick like a stew. If you want it thicker, you can either blend in the whole can of beans, use less milk, or add 1-2 tbsp of flour and let simmer over low heat until thicker.
