Steps

1Drain the tomatoes thoroughly and coarsely chop.
2Heat olive oil over medium heat in a dutch oven or large saucepan and add the onion and carrots. Cook until the onion is soft and opaque, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for one more minute.
3Add tomatoes, broth, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook uncovered until all veggies are tender, about 30-35 minutes.
4Use an immersion blender and puree to your desired consistency (I like to leave some texture to this soup). You can also puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. If you're using a regular blender or food processor and want a bit of texture, you can blend half the soup and leave half chunky. If blending, return the pureed soup to the pot and warm it up to serving temperature. Taste and add a bit more salt, if needed.
