If you know me, you know I LOVE tomato soup. Well, I just made a batch and it was so freakin’ good I had to document! (not my pic either, but that’s what it basically looked like) Best part, only about 55 calories! Unfortunately, I didn’t write down exact amounts, but hopefully this will help me remember…
I used a box of Pomi tomatoes.
We used these while in Slovakia and I don’t know why but they just taste so much better than regular canned tomatoes (use it in all my spag/tomato sauces now), but I’m sure canned would work too. The box will make 3 servings of soup (2 ladle scoops per serving).
Saute 1-2 tablespoons of chopped garlic in just a bit of the tomatoes until the garlic is soft
Add box of tomatoes (get them in the organic section)
Add (half box) water until desired consistency.
Then generously season to taste with sea salt, ground pepper, dried thyme, little nutmeg, minced dried onion, garlic powder and about 1-2 large handfuls of large, fresh, basil leaves chopped up.
I also added 6 tablespoons of milk for just a touch of creamy without the guilt
Simmer for at least 30 minutes.
Eat with guilt-free grissini bread sticks and voila, YUMMY!
You are such a good cook, Chels. I believe, it probably was amazing! Everything you make is so good.
