By adriennehannis

Quick, simple and much tastier than the canned variety, this tomato soup is delicious (not to mention, dairy & sugar free)! Makes 10 cups.

Ingredients

• 1/2 tbl coconut oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 2 shallots, sliced thinly
• 1 large bell pepper, diced
• 4 cups crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups salt free stock
• 1 cup water
• 1 can coconut milk
• Fresh basil to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large pan on medium with the coconut oil. Add the diced onion, garlic, shallots and bell pepper.
Soften for a few minutes – don’t let the garlic begin to brown.
Add the crushed tomatoes, stock and water. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes.
Pour in the coconut milk and add the fresh basil; season to taste & use an immersion blender to puree the soup to the thickness you like.
Let the soup heat through thoroughly before serving.
