Delicious Whole Food Plant-Based, SOS-Free Tomato Sauce Recipe Ingredients
Tips
Delicious Whole Food Plant-Based, SOS-Free Tomato Sauce Recipe Instructions
- If using fresh tomatoes, start by blanching them. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut a small “X” on the bottom of each tomato. Drop the tomatoes into the boiling water for 30-60 seconds until the skins start to peel away. Transfer the tomatoes to a bowl of ice water to cool. Peel the skins off, then chop the tomatoes and set aside.
- In a large pot, add a splash of vegetable broth or water to sauté the onions over medium heat until they become translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic, carrots, celery, and bell pepper, and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
- Add the chopped fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes to the pot. If using tomato paste, stir it in now. Add the dried oregano, basil, thyme, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to combine.

- Add 1/2 cup of vegetable broth or water to the pot, bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a bit more vegetable broth or water.
- Once the sauce has cooked down and the flavors have melded together, remove the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce to your desired consistency. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, you can skip this step or only blend a portion of the sauce.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with freshly ground black pepper. Since this is an SOS-free recipe, no additional salt is added, but the flavors of the vegetables and herbs should make for a delicious sauce.
- Serve the tomato sauce over your favorite whole grain pasta, use it as a plant based pizza sauce, or as a base for soups and stews. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
