Steps
Prepare the Base
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Cook the Soup
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in the sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add Pasta & Basil
Add the small pasta to the soup and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Remove from heat, stir in the chopped fresh basil. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or sugar if needed.
Extra Tips
► If you want to make the soup even creamier, stir in a little cream or sour cream before serving.
► Fresh basil is essential, but if you don't have any, you can also season it with dried oregano.
► Serve with croutons or grated cheese for an even more delicious experience.
