A comforting and flavorful tomato soup enhanced with pearl couscous, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the ingredients.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning, which can make it bitter.
Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to the slow cooker.
Use a spatula to scrape all the flavorful bits into the slow cooker.
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
Stir occasionally if possible to ensure even cooking.
Cook the pearl couscous according to package instructions.
Add a pinch of salt to the cooking water for extra flavor.
Remove the bay leaves from the soup and adjust seasoning if needed.
Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
To serve, place a portion of cooked couscous in each bowl, ladle the soup over it, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
