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

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.
