A note about this soup: It's simple, makes a HUGE batch (so feel free to scale it down) and it's just the ticket if you're like me and are still reconciling your three bowls of ice cream and six beers from the weekend.

There is no cream or milk in the soup, which makes it very acidic. In order to cut the acid, you can add sugar but as an alternative, I added baking soda. The rule of thumb is about ¼ teaspoon baking soda per 6 tomatoes to cut acid. Just for your knowledge.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 yellow onions, chopped
8 cloves garlic, minced
2.5 ounces fresh basil leaves, chopped (or 1.5 teaspoons dried basil)
3 28- ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes, including juices/puree
3 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
sea salt, I added no salt
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

In a large pot, sauté the onion in the olive oil over medium heat until browned, about 10 to 12 minutes
Add the garlic and sauté another 3 minutes
While onion and garlic are sautéing, open your canned tomatoes and dice the whole tomatoes.
Add the diced tomatoes and juices/tomato puree to the pot with the sauteed onion and garlic.
Add the vegetable stock, chopped basil and butter. Stir until butter is melted and incorporated.
Add the baking soda. This will cause the soup to bubble up quite a bit, so make sure your pot is big enough to hold a little momentary soup fizz. The bubbles/fizz will die down after a few seconds of stirring.
Bring pot to a full boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes.
Optional: You can blend part or all of this soup for a smoother consistency, though I like it chunky.
Serve with grated parmesan on top. Seriously. It's the bomb!
