This light soup is delicious on its own or served with toasted sandwiches for lunch.
Ingredients

- 3 Tablespoons Fresh Basil, Chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Preparation
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and saute until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
Add garlic and roasted red peppers and saute for another 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the tomatoes, breaking them up with the back of a wooden spoon. Pour in the chicken stock and add the basil. Simmer over low/medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
Puree the soup with a hand blender until smooth. Add salt, pepper and sugar. Simmer another 10 minutes.
