Happy New Year! At this time of year, many people will set New Year's resolutions to eat and live healthier but sadly, many of them will give up on their efforts all too soon in the new year. Eating healthier doesn't have to mean spending a lot of time on food preparation or spending hours reading food labels in the grocery store. Making fresh, clean food choices and avoiding processed foods can help keep you on track. Here is a tomato soup recipe that will have your lunch or dinner on the table in about 20 minutes and will taste fresher than any canned tomato soup. TOMATO BASIL SOUP 1 tbsp olive oil 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 small can tomato paste 2 cups vegetable broth 1/8 tsp dried oregano 1 bay leaf 1 tsp sugar 1/3 cup milk 4 or 5 fresh basil leaves, finely sliced S&P to taste In a saucepot over medium heat, add olive oil and cook onions until softened, about 10 minutes. Add tomato paste, broth, oregano, bay leaf, and sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in milk and basil. Simmer gently until heated through. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaf before serving. This soup is great with the addition of cooked rice. It also freezes well. |
