Homemade Tomato Soup


With fall here and all this rainy weather lately, all I can think about is soup. Specifically tomato soup with grilled cheese. But while making this recipe last night, with the intention of having grilled cheese as well, I realized we were out of cheese... So garlic toast it was. Still completely satisfying! 

-INGREDIENTS-
5 Large Tomatoes, Diced
2 Large White Onions, Diced
5 Large Cloves of Garlic, Minced
2 7oz Jars of Tomato Paste
4 Cups Water
2 TBSP Butter
1-2 TBSP Salt

In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic and sauté, adding water when needed, until the onions are soft. (Add salt if desired). 

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-large sauce pan. Add the tomatoes and salt. When the onions are ready, add them to the saucepan. Cook on low for 20-30 minutes or until the tomatoes taste cooked and not raw. In batches, blend the soup in a vita-mix (blender) until creamy. Add the last jar of tomato paste to the last batch before blending. Stir together and voilà! Your Soup is ready. (Feel free to add any other spices you may like). Garnish with feta cheese if desired. 💕💕
