Homemade Tomato Soup!

There are so many tomato soup recipes out there... so I figured I would try my hand at one of them.  It turned out very tasty!  If you all have any good soup recipes out there let me know... this is a perfect season for it and I love sharing the ideas with everyone out there!

Ingredients

1 Onion, chopped
1 TBS Coconut Oil
1 TBS Olive Oil
1/2 cup fresh Basil
1-2 tsp Sea Salt and Pepper
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
3 cups of Chicken Stock
5 Tomatoes- Vine (I used 4 large tomatoes... not sure if it made a difference or not)
6 oz Tomato Paste


Instructions

• Cut tomatoes into quarter slices and toss with olive oil (I did melted coconut oil), sea salt and pepper
• Roast tomatoes on a baking sheet for 30 minutes on 350 degrees
• With about 5 minutes to go on the tomatoes...melt 1 TBS of coconut oil over medium heat in a large soup pan
• Saute onion and garlic (until onion is translucent)
• Add in your roasted tomatoes and saute for 1 more minute
• Add in 3 cups of chicken stock, the basil (I ripped mine into smaller pieces first), and the tomato paste.  Stir until tomato paste is dissolved into the broth
• Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to low and cover pot
• Let covered pot simmer for about 30 minutes
• Pour soup into a food processor or blender and mix up until nice and smooth
• Last but not least... Enjoy! (And even top with your fresh basil... so tasty!)
