A flavorful and healthy vegetable soup that's perfect for any meal.

Use a high-quality canned tomato for the best flavor.
Blend the tomato and garlic mixture until smooth.
Be cautious when blending hot liquids; let it cool slightly if needed.
Grate the onion and add it to the pot.
Grating the onion helps it blend seamlessly into the soup.
Add the carrot and zucchini, both chopped into small pieces.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Stir in the tomato paste, chicken broth, basil, oregano, and salt.
Adjust the seasoning to taste before simmering.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
