Ingredients

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ medium yellow onion finely diced
3 cloves garlic finely minced
2 cans whole peeled tomatoes crushed with hands

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add onion and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are very soft and translucent, but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until very fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Pour in tomatoes and 600ml (2½ cups) of water (I fill the cans will water to get the rest of the tomatoes out), stir to combine and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for one hour, until the flavours have mellowed and melded and the tomatoes have taken on a sweetness.
Turn off the heat and, using a potato masher, mash the tomatoes until very smooth. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you prefer a creamy tomato soup with a very smooth texture, then you can absolutely use either an immersion blender or regular blender in step 5. Alternatively, you can pass it through a fine mesh sieve.
