Fresh Creamy Tomato Soup

 Seattle has turned to its usual cold and rainy weather. We have all put on our boots, scarves and coats. (Minus the umbrellas, those are for tourists. :) ) Nothing sounds better on a cold rainy night then a bowl of warm, creamy, savory soup. Check out this simple recipe for tomato soup. I used ground turkey this time, but previously I have used sausage, and ground beef. They are all delicious and make the soup a little different.

Fresh Creamy Tomato Soup

5 cloves crushed garlic
2 - 28oz cans of crushed tomatoes
1 can coconut milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 lb meat of your choice (cooked and seasoned to taste)
2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp onion powder


Place all ingredients, except meat, into large pot, cook on medium high heat until warmed through. Then add cooked meat of your choice. Stir for another 5 min until the meat is warmed.

 

Top with sliced avocado (as pictured) or keep it simply as is. Enjoy!
