Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 4 cups canned or fresh tomatoes, chopped

• 2 cups vegetable broth

• 1 tsp dried basil (or 1 tbsp fresh basil)

• ½ tsp oregano

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• ½ cup cottage cheese

• ¼ cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)

• 1 tsp honey or sugar (to balance acidity)

• Grated Parmesan and fresh basil for garnish

Directions

• Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until soft.
• Stir in garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
• Add tomatoes, vegetable broth, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
• Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender.
• Stir in cottage cheese and blend again until creamy.
• Adjust seasoning and add honey or sugar if needed.
• If using, mix in heavy cream for extra richness.
• Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan and fresh basil.

Notes

• For a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and leave the rest as-is.
• 
  Swap vegetable broth for chicken broth for a richer taste.
• If you prefer a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and tofu in place of cottage cheese.
