Instructions

  1. 1Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat (about 160°C). Add diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent and soft. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, avoiding browning.
  2. 2Add roughly chopped tomatoes (or passata) and broth to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer over low-medium heat (about 90°C) and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are fully softened and breaking down.
  3. 3In a small bowl, combine drained tuna with mayonnaise, chopped capers, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix well with a fork until evenly blended. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. 4Halve the avocado lengthwise and remove the stone with a spoon. Scoop out a small amount of flesh from each half if needed to create more space. Generously fill each half with the prepared tuna mixture, mounding it slightly on top.
  5. 5Remove the pot from heat. Use a hand blender to puree the soup until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in a few torn fresh basil leaves for flavor and aroma.
