Tomato soup was one of my favorite dishes growing up.
When I came home from school I used to make the pre pack version in the micro. Luckily today I have a Thermomix, which helps making soup easy peasy and I can enjoy the nutritional values of real veggies instead of the pre made packs. But even if you don’t have one of those you can still make a delicious soup with a hand mixer. So let’s make Tomato soup à la Kris, shall we?

Tomato soup

Servings:1 Tomato soup

Ingredients

• 1 onion
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 tbs tomato paste
• 3 sun-dried tomatoes
• 2 X 400g tins of tomatoes/ or equal amount of fresh tomatoes
• 3 tbs liquid Chicken stock 
• 3 dl of water
• Salt and pepper
• olive oil

Instructions

• Start by dicing your onion and garlic, then add it to a kettle with some olive oil on medium high heat.
• Stir until the onion becomes soft and transparent. Now add in the tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes and keep stirring for one more minute.
• Add the remaining ingredients and leave to simmer for 20 min, then run it all smooth with a hand blender.
• Now it's time to taste the soup and add some salt and more chicken stock if you need to.
• You can serve the soup as it is now, but I usually prefer to run it through a strainer.
• Finally, add some pepper to taste right before serving.

Notes

Soups are a great meal by it self, but I usually need some garnish when I make this as a main meal. So what to use? Well, there are tons of options here, home made pesto, classic macaroni, snow peas, bacon, boiled eggs, bread, and butter,  you name it! go with what your tummy tells you, enjoy!
