Tomato and Fresh Basil Soup
Serves 4
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons Coconut Oil
1 Onion, chopped
1 Carrot, chopped
1 pound Ripe Tomatoes, seeded and roughly chopped
2 cloves of Garlic, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups of Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Dry White Wine
1/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped
1/2 of a six ounce can of Tomato Paste
Salt Substitute, to taste
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
10 leaves of fresh Basil, thinly sliced
1 fourteen ounce can of Coconut Milk
Directions:
-Heat oil in a large saucepan or heavy bottomed pot. Add onion and carrots, cook slowly for about 5 minutes; stir frequently until soft, but do not brown onions.
-Stir in tomatoes, garlic, broth, wine, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, salt substitute, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover half of the pan, and let simmer slowly for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep tomatoes from sticking to the bottom.
-Process the soup with the basil in a food processor or blender, reserving some for garnish. Add the coconut milk, heat through without boiling.
-Adjust seasoning to taste and serve with more fresh basil.
