3clovesminced garlic
2teaspoonssmoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste
228 ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes
Nutritional yeast and extra virgin olive oil for serving
Instructions
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, onion, garlic, and spiced and cook an additional 5 minutes or until aromatic. Add tomatoes and simmer on low-medium for about 20 minutes, stirring and pressing tomatoes with back of spoon until tomatoes are tender.
Remove from heat and carefully transfer to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree (I like to just pulse in my blender 3-4 times to keep some chunks). Pour into bowls and top with nutritional yeast and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if desired. Enjoy!
