• 1 tsp sugar (optional, to taste)
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 4 cups vegetable broth

Instructions

Preparing the Soup

1. Sauté the Aromatics

   Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

3. Simmer

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes to blend the flavors together.

4. Blend and Serve

   Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with croutons or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
