- 4-5 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

- In a large pot over medium heat, add 1/4 cup of vegetable broth and saute the onion and garlic until soft and transparent.
- Add the tomatoes and saute together for 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes are warmed through.

- Once smooth, return the soup to the stove.

To roast fresh tomatoes for use in the soup, cut 4 large tomatoes into wedges, spritz with olive oil spray and roast on a baking sheet in the oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes. Follow the above recipe and add the tomatoes in Step 2, as usual.
