Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large white onion (minced)
  • 5 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes (canned)
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce (canned)
  • 6 ounces tomato paste (canned)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat a large pot on the stove over medium high heat. Add in olive oil and saute onion in the olive oil for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add in 5 cloves and saute another 30-60 seconds.

  2. 2

    Pour in chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, fennel, oregano, salt, pepper, basil, and parsley. Bring to a simmer.
