DOUBLE – TOMATO SOUP
I am all about warm, soothing, comfort foods. This is my favorite tomato soup recipe of all time and I hope you enjoy it too. I omit heavy cream but you can certainly add a few tbs at the end if you are after that creamy tomato soup. So what do I mean by DOUBLE-Tomato? Simple. That is sun-dried tomato and diced tomatoes mixed together. I know, I know…and with a hit of fresh basil, it is a dream! Besides tasting so good, it also is still so healthy and good for you too. The carrots give it a little sweetness and the onions really create the texture. Great anytime of the year. Pair it up with a protein dish or a favorite warm sandwich and you are good to go. I like to garnish with fresh basil or even parsley sometimes. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup chopped onion 1 medium
- ¾ cup shredded carrot
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced shallots
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 10 large basil leaves divided
- 3 drained sun-dried tomato halves packed in oil with herbs (such as California Sun Dry brand)
- 2 14.5-ounce cans organic diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 14-ounce can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth (or can use bone broth)
Notes
Use veggie broth to make vegetarian or vegan. In addition, swap the butter for olive oil.
I often omit heavy cream but you can certainly add a few tbs at the end if you are after that creamy tomato soup.
Serve with a protein or warm grilled cheese or favorite hot sandwich.
