Tomato Soup

Who can remember ever having a bowl of tomato soup without a grilled cheese sandwich? Whether you were a kid in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s or 90’s, most likely they were served together. There is a good reason for that. Together, they are amazing!!

I love this recipe because all the ingredients in the soup support the all-star tomato. All whole ingredients so there is nothing to fear or feel guilty about!! 

Ingredients

Olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbls. dried oregano
2 cans organic crushed tomatoes
2 cups organic vegetable (or chicken) stock
¼ cup each, flat leaf parsley & basil
Salt & pepper
1 tsp. Red pepper flake (or more if you like it spicier)
2 cups whole milk (or half & half)
Serve with shaved parmesan & chopped basil
Instructions

STEP ONE:
Saute onion in olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add garlic and oregano, salt & pepper. Saute an additional 2 minutes.

STEP TWO:
Add tomatoes, stock, herbs and season. Bring up to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.

STEP THREE:
Stir, then add the milk. Taste, re-season and serve with shaved parmesan and fresh basil on top.

SERVING SUGGESTION:
Since we all agree that grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup should not be separated, that is my serving suggestion. My only recommendation is to seek out a whole grain bread that has no preservatives, additives or other yucky oils or sugars.

I love Ezekiel bread. Also, my local health food store offers whole grain lavash rounds. I toast them with olive oil and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Slice into triangles and these are an excellent alternative to the traditional grilled cheese sandwich!
