Description
Easy and Healthy Hearty Tomato Soup that’s Paleo + Gluten Free!
Ingredients
- Fat of choice {I used butter}
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 1 bulb roasted garlic
or 3-4 cloves raw garlic, finely minced - 12oz sausages, cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 28 oz cans crushed tomatoes
- 1 28oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup “creamy” something or other
You can use: Kefir, heavy cream, 1 -2 batches of homemade mayo, coconut milk, etc - 1-1.5 cups chicken stock
- 1 tsp, garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 1.5 TBSP. Dried Basil
- Salt + Pepper to taste
- 2 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar
Instructions
- You’re going to need the mother of all soup pots for this! Get it heating on the stove with 2 tablespoons of your favorite fat.
- Add in your diced onions and squeeze your roasted garlic out of the bulb and into the pot {literally, just flip it cut side down, and squeeze it so all the garlic comes out like a paste – and REALLY squeeze it so you get all.the.garlic.}, add a small sprinkling of salt, stir it around and let it sit for a few minutes so your onions gain some flavor.
- Add in your sausages into the pot and let them brown for a few minutes
- Add in 1 and a half cans of the crushed tomatoes and all of your diced tomatoes, as well as your creamy component, 1 cup of chicken stock, seasoning and balsamic vinegar.
- Stir it all around and at this point you can add more crushed tomato in if you want it extra tomato-soup like and if it’s look a little to thick you can add in more chicken stock!
- Because you’re using canned tomatoes for this, make sure you don’t skimp on the salt or else this will just end up tasting old and stale! I added a good sprinkling of finely ground sea salt, then when the soup got warm tasted and added more if needed.
- Let it sit on the stove on low for at least a half hour, longer is always better with soup though!
- Right before serving, taste test and add either more salt or seasoning as needed!
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
As with every soup – toppings always rock! You can always consider adding on top of your soup:
Fresh Herbs
Sliced Avocado
Shredded Cheese of some sort
