Delicious Tomato Soup

 If you like tomato soup, you will love this one.

This is a light soup that is perfect for the spring and throughout the summer. This recipe is delicious, rich, flavorful, and healthy . It is one of those soups that you keep coming back for more because it tastes so good and comforting. It is easy to make, and a batch can be whipped up in less than an hour . For a heartier soup, add cooked Basmati after blending..Serves 4 .

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter ( or olive oil )
1 medium onion, diced
4 medium carrots, sliced
1 and 1/2  -28 ounce cans of diced tomatoes ( I use Muir Glen organic diced tomatoes in the winter) or 6 cups fresh tomatoes, diced
2 Tablespoons olive oil ( optional)
2 cups vegetable stock
1/4 cup fresh parsley
Salt and  pepper
1 cup milk, coconut milk, or Greek Yogurt blended at end ( optional)



Instructions
Saute onion and carrots in the butter in a dutch oven skillet over a low flame until the vegetables begin to be tender.  Add the diced tomatoes and olive oil, stir well and saute together for about 3-4 minutes.  Add vegetable stock, and parsley and simmer for about 15 minutes covered. Allow to cool, add the milk if desired and blend (divide into 2 batches) in a Vitamix or strong blender.

Reheat before serving.
