Hearty Tomato Soup
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup onion, chopped Calls for 1 onion – I reduced it
- 1 carrot, peeled chopped
- 1 stalk celery chopped
- 2 Tbsp Basil Finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced, optional (I omitted)
- 2 14 oz cans Diced tomatoes
- 1 16 oz carton Chicken Broth
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven, pour olive oil and heat up the pan then add chopped onion, chopped carrot, chopped celery, basil. After browning add tomatoes and chicken broth and bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes. Using either an Emersion Blender* or food processor, emulsify for about two minutes. (You can also use a blender, remembering to blend in batches, otherwise, the top will blow). Lastly pour into bowls and serve with crackers and apple slices for dessert
