re: Creamy Tomatoe Soup

I hope everyone's garden's are growing. I can't wait for that 1st fresh tomatoe. This is one of my favorites. I have so many favorites.  Excellant for the newbies too. Enjoy. Elissa Creamy Tomato Soup 3- 4 servings

 

Ingredients: 1 large onion, chopped 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 3 pounds fresh, ripe Italian tomatoes, chopped (about 6 cups) 8 sun-dried tomatoes, soaked 1 cup soy milk Salt and black and red pepper to taste 3 tablespoons fresh parsley & basil, chopped

 

1. In a large pot, sauté the onions in the olive oil until they are soft, then add the fresh tomatoes and stir until the mixture boils.

 

2. Remove the dried tomatoes from their soaking water and chop them coarsely. Add them and their soaking water to the pot and cook, stirring to prevent sticking.
