Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook 5 minutes until soft, then add garlic and cook 1 minute.
  2. Stir in crushed tomatoes, broth, salt, pepper, and sugar. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in cottage cheese and blend with an immersion blender until completely smooth.
  4. Return to low heat and warm through for 2 to 3 minutes, without boiling. Taste and adjust salt or pepper.
  5. Ladle into bowls, top with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil, and serve hot.

Notes

If you prefer a thinner soup, stir in an extra 1/4 cup of warm broth right before serving. When using a countertop blender, fill it only halfway and vent the lid to avoid steam burns.
