Instructions

Heat a generous splash of olive oil in a cooking pot over moderate heat.
Add the onions and garlic and saute over medium to low heat for about 20 minutes until almost caramelized. Meanwhile, prepare the tomatoes.
Cut the fresh tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Add the tomatoes to the pot and raise the heat to high.
Season with coarse sea salt and stir until tomatoes get mushy and soupy.
Pour in the hot water or stock.
Add the basil, oregano, and thyme. Season with extra coarse sea salt if needed. At this point taste to see if the tomatoes are sourish and if necessary add ⅔ teaspoon of sugar.
Simmer covered over medium-low heat for 50 minutes.
Add the 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with freshly ground pepper.
Pulse the soup using an immersion blender. If you want the soup thicker put it on the stove again and simmer for a few more minutes over low heat, uncovered.
Serve with crumbled feta cheese on top if you like and garnish with some fresh chopped basil.
