Add garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and stir to cook for 5-7 minutes until tomatoes are soft and saucy. Stir in all the seasoning including Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Transfer the cooked potatoes together with 3-4 cups of boiling potato water (depends on how thick you prefer the soup to be) into the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine and bring the soup to a simmer.
• Blend the soup into a puree using an immersion blender or transfer the soup into a regular blender to puree. If using a regular blender, you will have to puree in batches.
