Tomato Soup You'll Want to Eat



Yes, the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear tomato soup is 'from a can' and 'nasty'. Not this stuff though. Trust me, even the biggest haters will like this. Tomato is a fairly blank canvas, so I just dressed it up to make it fabulous.

• 1 large can of crushed tomatos (yes, I said canned, do you want to crush them yourself?)
• 1/2 a red onion, diced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fennel seed
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish
• salt and pepper to taste

Sautee the onion and bell pepper until softened with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-low to medium heat (about 5-7 min). Add the garlic, fennel seed and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for a minute or two. Then pour in the white wine, making sure to scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan, don't waste the flavor! Add the crushed tomatos and stir to combine. Cook on low heat for 15 minutes then add the parsley and cook for another 15 minutes. Taste before serving and definitely add salt and pepper, it will need it! Garnish with parsley and drop a dollop of sour cream in the middle. Serve with homemade sweet potato chips. Enjoy!
