Recipe
Tangy Tomato Soup with Basil
2 servings
Ingredients
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 3 oz shallots, peeled sliced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Dash of freshly ground red pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
Directions
- Peel and crush garlic and set aside. Leaving crushed or minced garlic for at least 5-10 minutes after crushing helps maximize its health-protective effects.
- While health-promoting compounds are forming in crushed garlic, combine shallots, tomatoes, chicken broth, and apple cider vinegar in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Add tomato mixture, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and stir in basil. Serve hot.
