One of my favorite inventions this summer has been this Carrot Tomato Soup. I started with the most basic ingredients- carrots, tomato sauce, water and salt. And then before I decided what to add next, I tasted it: perfect. Stop there!
Simple, tasty and healthy, it’s the perfect summer soup.
Carrot Tomato Soup
1 pound carrots, scrubbed or peeled and then diced 8oz tomato sauce (1 small can)8oz water (could substitute milk or cream for a creamier soup)
1 tsp sea salt Black pepper to taste Optional: olive oil to drizzle on top
1. Boil or steam carrots until tender. Let cool.
2. In a food processor or blender, combine carrots with tomato sauce, and water. Blend until smooth.
3. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Put in fridge if you’d like to serve a chilled soup, or reheat on stovetop for a warm soup. May also serve room temperature, as is my custom. You may choose to drizzle some olive oil on top of each portion before serving.
