Ingredients
Group 1
- 4 tbsp butter this is ½ stick
- ½ cup onion, finely chopped
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 1-½ tsp sugar you may substitute agave or honey
- 1 tsp salt
Group 2

Instructions
- Place all Group 1 ingredients in a soup pot and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Place Group 2 ingredients in a glass jar (with a lid!) and shake well to combine.
- After the 15 minute cook time from step 1, add Group 2 AND Group 3 ingredients to the soup pot. Stir well. The baking soda might fizz up which is totally normal.
- Continue to simmer on low for 20 minutes more, stirring and scraping frequently to prevent soup from sticking and burning.
