Directions
Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add tomato paste, onion, sugar, oregano and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve soup sprinkled with parsley.
Serving Suggestions: Soup is delicious with grilled ham & cheese sandwiches or saltine crackers.
TIP: To freeze extra tomato paste, spoon any remaining paste from can onto plastic wrap. Fold wrap over paste and lightly form into a log by rolling on a flat surface; twist ends and freeze. Then, simply unwrap and carefully slice off desired amount before returning remaining paste to freezer. Paste will keep 2 months in the freezer.
