Chunky Tomato Basil Soup

1. 1

   In a large pot, saute the onion in the olive oil over medium heat until browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the garlic and saute another 3 minutes.

2. 2

   While onion and garlic are cooking, open your canned tomatoes and dice the whole tomatoes.

3. 3

   Add the diced tomatoes and juices (or tomato puree) to the pot, along with the remaining ingredients (including butter). Stir to combine ingredients.

4. 4

   Bring mixture to a full boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes.

5. 5

   Optional: You can blend part or all of this soup for a smoother consistency, though I like it chunky.

6. 6

   Serve with grated Parmesan on top. Seriously. It's the bomb!
