Easy to prepare and comforting. I usually pair the soup with a cheese sandwich.
Sometimes I saute brocolli in butter and add it to the soup for some crunch.

Method:
Warm up the pan on medium heat
Add oil and heat for a minute or so until warm
Add garlic and cook until fragrant (but before it becomes brown). About 30 secs or so.
Add onions and sauce until translucent. About 2 - 3 mins
Add basil.
Crush tomatoes with hand into the pan (be careful not to splash across the counter; piercing with a knife minimizes the chances of this happening)
Add salt to taste. I would start with a 1/4 tsp and go from there
Cook for another 5 - 7 mins until tomaotes are soft
Take it off the gas and blend. (if using mixer be careful and let it cool a little or you risk creating a mess; this won't happen with a hand blender)
Add water and let it boil for another few mins until soup reaches your preferred consistency
Sprinkle black pepper to taste
Soup is ready!
