2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp Italian seasoning
2 cans of whole Roma tomatoes
4 cups vegetable broth

Instructions

Heat avocado oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Add chopped yellow onion and fine sea salt. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes until glossy and slightly golden.
Stir in minced garlic, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add sliced carrots, celery, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and cook for one minute to combine flavors.
