Notes

You can make this recipe in the slow cooker! Just leave the carrots, celery, and tomatoes cooking overnight. That way is super easy to take off the tomato peel once they are cooked and then just blend them all together along with the garlic.
In a big pot add the oil, sauteé the onions, and add the chopped tomato and the blended tomatoes. Add the salt, rosemary, and oregano and build for some 8 minutes!
