Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 zucchini, peeled and chopped
1 medium roasted sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (Salt-free for young babes)
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
1 32-ounce carton chicken or vegetable broth
Salt and pepper, to taste (Minimize for young babes)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once oil is heated, add onion and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until onion starts to become fragrant and translucent.
  • Add garlic, carrot, bell pepper, zucchini and sweet potato and stir to combine. Allow to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes. Add Italian seasoning and stir to combine.
  • Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste and chicken broth, and once again stir to combine. Bring to a low boil (very gently bubbling), then turn off heat.
  • Transfer sauce to a blender in two batches. You may need to use a mixing bowl to hold some of the extra soup while you are blending. Blend until smooth, then return to the original saucepan or Dutch oven on low heat.
  • Season with salt and pepper as needed, but if you will be serving this to young babes, minimize the salt as much as possible.
