Ever get tired of paying an arm and a leg for tiny cans of soup that never quite measure up to expectations? Well, that’s what happened to us. To be more precise, we went to Noodles and Company, where my husband ordered a bowl of their delicious tomato soup – I was sold. Problem is, we can’t afford to eat out every day —- so —– I looked up a few recipes online, modified them to our particular taste, and Voíla! Here you have it – Tomato Soup!
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 med onion
2-3 garlic cloves
2 small carrots
4 cans diced tomatoes
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Cayenne
Basil
Bay leaf
Salt
Saute onions, garlic and carrots 8-10 minutes. Add canned tomatoes and seasonings. Boil on med-high heat for 40 minutes or until carrots are tender. Blend until texture is creamy. Yum, yum!
(If desired, blend and set aside a portion for baby leaving out the salt and cayenne).
