[La Coliniere]

9. Tomato Basil Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

My BIL gave me a few pounds of very ripe hothouse tomatoes. I chopped them and blended them in my Nutribullet, skins and all. Then I sautéed chopped red onion, minced shallots and garlic in evoo until tender. Added the blended tomatoes to the pot and let that cook until the tomatoes were reduced to a sauce structure then added some veggie broth and a bit of baking soda to reduce the bitterness from the skins, fresh chopped basil and parsley. At the last minute I added a bit of coconut cream to smooth it out. Also made grill cheese sandwiches with sprouted multigrain bread and Violife “cheddar” slices. Felt like I was back in public school eating my favorite cafeteria lunch. Man, that soup is good. Cheers! 🥂
