Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add 1 chopped red onion and 3 finely chopped cloves of garlic to the pot.

Cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add 2 cans of crushed tomatoes to the pot, ensuring to get all the tomato out.

Pour in 4 cups of low sodium broth or water with bouillon cubes and stir to dissolve the cubes.

Add fresh oregano sprigs directly into the pot without removing them from the stem.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low medium and let it simmer for about 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, remove the oregano sprigs from the soup.

Allow the soup to cool slightly before adding 1/2 cup of whole plain yogurt, ensuring it has stopped boiling to prevent curdling.

Stir in the yogurt until well combined and serve.
