Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup or sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
Fresh basil leaves or chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until shimmering.
Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add canned tomatoes with their juices and bring to a simmer.
Stir in coconut milk, maple syrup (or sugar), salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and soy sauce or tamari.
Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use an immersion blender to purée the soup directly in the pot, or transfer to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or chives if desired.
Notes
For a thicker soup, simmer a few minutes longer after blending.
You can substitute light coconut milk, but the soup will be less creamy.
Add croutons or grilled bread for a heartier meal.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
