Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion diced
- 1 carrot chopped
- 1 celery chopped, rib
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 bay leaf
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes canned
- 12 oz roasted red peppers drained, jarred
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook until soften, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic, tomato paste, and bay leaves. Stir until the tomato paste is mixed in.
- Add the tomatoes, roasted red peppers, vegetable broth, sugar, dried thyme, and crushed red pepper. Stir to combine. Reduce to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Stir in the almond milk (or cream) and basil. Remove the bay leaves. Turn off the heat and use a hand blender to purée the soup in the pot.
