Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can Eden Foods crushed tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can Eden Foods cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for at least 15 minutes, or longer for a richer flavor. Stir occasionally.

- Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
Cooking Tips:
- For a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
