Ingredients
  

2 cups canned crushed tomatoes

1 cup canned pure pumpkin puree

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a vegan option)

2 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sugar (to balance acidity)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Crusty bread for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Combine Ingredients: In your crockpot, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with the crushed tomatoes, pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, smoked paprika, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

      Cook: Cover the crockpot and set it to low. Let the soup cook for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

        Add Cream: Once the cooking time is up, stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) until fully incorporated in a creamy mixture. If desired, use an immersion blender for a smoother texture; blend until your preferred consistency is reached.

          Final Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.

            Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves if using, and serve alongside crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy the cozy warmth of your delicious soup!
