Ingredients

- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 medium onions chopped
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- Two (28-ounce) cans tomatoes pureed
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, stir them to coat, then place a lid on the pot and leave for 5 minutes.
- Take the lid off and stir the onions. Add the garlic and cover again until the onions are soft and just starting to brown, another 2 minutes.
- Add the pureed tomatoes and vegetable broth to the pot and stir, being sure to scrape any sticky onions off the bottom to keep them from burning.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then turn it down to a low simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. For smooth soup, use an immersion blender to quickly puree the onions into the tomato mixture. If you're using a standard blender, wait for the soup to cool before you blend.
