- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound fresh ripe tomatoes halved
- 1 litre or 4 ¼ cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon raw sugar/coconut sugar/sucanat

In a large pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
Add the onions, carrot, celery and garlic. Cover and cook for 10 minutes until soft and transfer to slow cooker.
To the crockpot add all the other ingredients and stir. Cook for 2-3 hours on low.
Transfer the soup to a blender and blend for about 1 minute until smooth, or if you have an immersion blender (produces much smoother results) blend until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Top with additional basil and optional shredded cheese and enjoy!
