Steps:
- In a large pot, sauté the onion in the olive oil over medium heat until browned, about 10 to 12 minutes
- Add the garlic and sauté another 3 minutes
- While onion and garlic are sautéing, open your canned tomatoes and dice the whole tomatoes.
- Add the diced tomatoes and juices/tomato puree to the pot with the sauteed onion and garlic.
- Add the vegetable stock, chopped basil and butter. Stir until butter is melted and incorporated.
- Add the baking soda. This will cause the soup to bubble up quite a bit, so make sure your pot is big enough to hold a little momentary soup fizz. The bubbles/fizz will die down after a few seconds of stirring.
- Bring pot to a full boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes.
- Optional: You can blend part or all of this soup for a smoother consistency, though I like it chunky.
- Serve with grated parmesan on top. Seriously. It's the bomb!
