Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free option

Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add chicken broth and crushed tomatoes to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to blend flavors. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes
- This soup is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in airtight containers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally. For longer storage, freeze individual portions and reheat gently.
- When reheating, consider adding fresh ravioli for an optimal texture.
