Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken bone broth or vegetable bone broth
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes and chicken or vegetable bone broth. Stir to combine.
  • Add the dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme, and smoked paprika. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth.
  • Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a regular blender).
  • Stir in the Greek yogurt until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Allow the soup to cool completely.
  • Transfer the soup to freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags. Label with the date and contents and freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Preparation Suggestion: Thaw the soup in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in a pot over medium heat until warmed through. If the soup is too thick, add a little broth or water to reach the desired consistency.
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy with fresh basil and a grilled cheese, if desired.
