Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

02

Step

Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

03

Step

Add the chopped tomatoes, Pinot Grigio wine, water, fresh basil, tomato paste, sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes, or until the tomatoes are very soft and the flavors have melded.

05

Step

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth. Return the pureed soup to the pot. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Return the pot to medium-low heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.

07

Step

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese and a sprig of fresh basil, if desired. Serve immediately.

For a thicker sauce, simmer the soup uncovered for an additional 30-45 minutes after pureeing, stirring occasionally, until the desired consistency is reached.
Feel free to adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to control the spiciness of the soup.
For a richer flavor, roast the tomatoes in the oven before adding them to the soup. Toss the tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized.
A splash of heavy cream or coconut milk can be added at the end for extra creaminess.
