Raw Food Lunches & Dinners n-1 : Tomato Basil Soup

Tomato Basil Soup 

• 3 cups tomato puree (6-8 medium tomatoes, see note)

• ¼ lemon, peeled and seeded

• 1 avocado

• Large handful of sunflower or buckwheat sprouts

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

• 1 tablespoon chopped onion (optional)

• 1 small clove garlic, chopped (optional)

• Additional sprouts

• Basil flowers



Wait until summer when you can make this beautiful re soup from fresh, juicy, ripe organic tomatoes.



In a blender combine the tomato puree, lemon, avocado, sprouts, basil, onion and garlic. Blend and pour into serving bowls. Top the soup with sprouts and basil flowers.



Serves 2.

Note: To make the tomato puree: Put the tomatoes into a blender until you have a 3-cup yield. The tomato puree should be chunky, not silky smooth.
