This tomato soup is so easy and delicious. It took me about a half hour to make the entire recipe. Soups are so great because you can store them and save it for another time. You can bring it on the go for lunches or dinners.
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. butter or olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 vine ripe tomatoes cut into quarters
1 Tbsp tomato paste
4 cups no sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 Tbs fresh Basil
1 tsp salt and pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 Tbs fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 Tbs fresh parsley
rotini, macaroni or shell noodles (optional)
Put all these ingredients into a large soup pot except for the lemon juice and parsley. Let them all simmer for about 20 min. After simmering is done add lemon juice, then use a hand blender to puree the ingredients together (you could use a regular blender, but an immersion blender cuts the time way down).
Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain, and add noodles to finished soup. Top with fresh Parmesan and Parsley.
