My Favorite Tomato Soup Recipe

In this new journey that I have been in with my allergies, I have started to explore different recipes that make my tummy feel better. Personally, I am not a big fan of soup, but I didn't want to say 'no' to all the options. When it comes to soup, I like my soup thicker, so tomato soup was the perfect thing to try. That being said here is the recipe...

Ingredients:

• 4 tomato's

• Half an onion (I used a yellow onion, but you can whatever type you'd like)

• 1 garlic head

• 2 carrots

• Oregano

• 2-3 Fresh Bay leaves

• Coconut Milk

• Salt

• Pepper

• Sugar

• Olive oil

Preparation:

Step 1: Wash the tomatoes and carrots. After washing them, peel the carrots, and then rough chop the tomatoes, carrots, and onion.

Step 2: Get a non-stick oven tray and put your tomatoes, carrots, garlic head, and onion on the tray. Coat the vegetables with some olive oil (I usually eyeball it, but I would say about 2 tbs) and season with salt, pepper, and oregano (or whatever other seasonings you would like).

Step 3: Place the vegetables in the oven for about 40-45 minutes.

Step 4: After the vegetables are done in the oven and are soft, let it cool for about 20 minutes. After cooling, blend all the vegetables.

Step 5: In a large pot, strain the mixture that you blended, and let it simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, add 1 can of coconut milk into the soup (you can substitute this with water, or chicken broth if you'd like).

Step 6: At this point, you should allow your tomato soup to sit at a simmer, if you wish to add more seasonings to your liking, this would be the time to do so.

Step 7: Enjoy your delicious tomato soup :) You could even pair it with some croutons or a grilled cheese sandwich.

My Personal Add-On's

• Crumbled tortilla chips

• Collagen powder (extremely beneficial for humans!)

Why Tomato Soup?

As I mentioned earlier, I have a list of allergies that I have been learning to adapt to.

I hope you enjoy :)
