Tomato Soup - 2 ingredients!

By Coach Maria - Salus Nutritionist & Food Expert

If you grew up like many of us, tomato soup was staple in your diet. 

Heated straight from the can and accompanied with a grilled cheese sandwich.  Yes?

It was an easy meal that any kid could throw together in a pinch.

Once I decided to clean up my nutrition and avoid things like high fructose corn syrup and gluten, that easy soup was no longer an option.

I picked up a can of Campbell's Tomato soup and read the ingredients:

TOMATO PUREE (WATER, TOMATO PASTE), HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, WHEAT FLOUR, WATER, SALT, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, FLAVORING, CITRIC ACID, LOWER SODIUM NATURAL SEA SALT, ASCORBIC ACID, MONOPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE.

Not the ingredients I like to put into my body.

This recipe, however, contains only 2 ingredients and is chockfull of flavor and a healthy source of fat.  The recipe will make 1 serving of a large bowl of soup, or 2 servings of a cup of soup.

Ingredients
servings 1

1 14.5 oz can of tomatoes with garlic and onion
1/4 c coconut milk (or, if you can tolerate dairy, heavy cream)

Place ingredients in blender or food processor and blend until creamy smooth.
Heat on the stove top or, if you are ok using one, the microwave.
