Fresh Tomato Soup
/Here is a tried and true recipe for tomato soup from a healthy recipe book by Bonnie Stern. Bonnie is a fellow Canadian and her recipe book has been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada! I use Roma tomatoes as they are the most flavorful, and sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil are better because their flavor is more robust.
Makes 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 onion finely chopped
