Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 large roma tomatoes, blanched
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 c white onions, chopped
2 1/2 tsp ground himalayan sea salt, or more to taste and divided
3 large cloves garlic, pressed
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
3 c low-sodium chicken broth
6 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped plus more for garnish
1 c parmesan cheese, grated
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped

1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste (i always use mixed peppercorns)

This soup is simply divine! The creamy tomato base is perfectly balanced with the fresh basil and Parmesan cheese. I added a bit of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, and it was heavenly.
