  • 1 tablespoon Olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 onion
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin

  • 540 grams crushed tomatoes (1 large can)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large pot.
  • Add the onion, celery, carrots, & jalapeño in the oil along with the salt.
  • Sauté over medium high heat for 5 minutes until they have softened slightly. Covering with the lid helps the veggies sweat with the steam trapped inside.

  • Blend until smooth and adjust the seasoning as needed.
