Tomato Soup
I created this recipe while trying to lose weight, but still wanting to have a tasty, filling, light and healthy dinner.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Yellow Onion chopped
- ½ cup Celery chopped
- 1 cup Carrot chopped
- 7 cloves Garlic roughly chopped
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
- 1 lb Tomatoes roughly chopped
- ½ tsp Dried Parsley
- ½ tsp Dried Oregano
- ½ tsp Dried Thyme
- 1½ cups Water
- ½ cup Coconut Milk
- 2 tbsp Fresh Basil minced
Instructions
- Heat a pan on medium heat. Add onion, celery, carrot, garlic, salt and pepper and sauté for 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle some water if the mixture sticks to the pan.
- Add tomatoes, parsley, oregano, and thyme and mix well.
- Cover the pan, reduce heat to low-medium and cook for about 30-40 minutes.
- Add this mixture to a blender along with the fresh basil and blend until smooth.
- Move mixture back to pan. Add water and coconut milk. Adjust salt to taste. Bring mixture to a boil, turn off heat, and let sit for 5-7 minutes. Serve while hot!
Notes
If using an immersion blender, add water before blending the mixture.
