2 | onions, red - chopped | |
1 | garlic clove - minced | |
3 | cups | vegetable stock |

Meanwhile, in a medium-sized saucepan, heat oil over

garlic and saute until the onions are very soft, about 5
minutes longer. Stir in tomatoes and cook, stirring, for
1 minute.
Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and
process until smooth; return to the saucepan. Stir in
stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer
for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil. Season

chilled, at least one hour. The soup can be stored,
covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 2 days.
