Fresh Organic Tomato Soup
Ingredients:
3 lbs of sun ripened organic tomatoes
1 2/3 cups of organic chicken or vegetable stock
3 tablespoons of organic tomato puree or tomato sauce
2 tablespoons organic balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons organic sugar or equivalent
Fresh chopped basil leaves (about a handful)
Organic salt and black pepper to taste
Wash organic tomatoes and place them in a large bowl. Pour boiling water over them and leave for 30 seconds. Drain boiling water and add a little cold water to cool. It will now be easier to peel the skin.
Peel the skin off all tomatoes and cut each tomato into quarters. Place organic tomatoes in a large pan and pour organic chicken or vegetable stock over tomatoes. Bring to a boil and quickly reduce heat to low. Simmer gently for approximately 10 minutes. Stir in the organic tomato puree, vinegar, sugar and chopped basil leaves. Season with organic salt and pepper to taste and simmer gently while stirring for a further 2 minutes.
Let soup cool slightly and then transfer to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Transfer soup back to the pan and reheat gently taking care not to boil.
A nice soup to warm the soul, in addition to your regular daily intake of supplements.
