Creamy Tomato Soup
I love tomato soup. It is one of my favorite comfort food. This recipe is lower in fat and calories than a classic creamy tomato soup, so you can eat as much as you like of it without a care at all about calories!
I have discovered that using fresh garlic and onions, in this particular recipe, made the soup very harsh in flavor. So I have toned down the strength of flavor by using powdered spices and bouillon. The carrots add the sweetness you need without adding sugar. The low fat sour cream adds smoothness and tang without making the soup unhealthy. You can omit the peppercorns if you don't like zesty flavors as well. BON APPETITE!!!!
Don't despair if you don't have a Vitamixer. Just puree your soup in any blender and cook it on the stove top for about 15 minutes.
Vitamixer Tomato Carrot Soup
5-6 Roma tomatoes
1 cup baby carrots
2 Tbs. low far sour cream
1 Knorr Chicken bouillon cube
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
5-8 black peppercorns.
Place everything into you carafe in the order listed.
Starting on the lowest speed, and slowly turning the machine all the way to high, puree the mixture until smooth. If you are using your vita mixer, set a times for seven minutes and allow the soup to cook in the carafe.
If you are using a mere mortal blender, once the soup is smooth, transfer it to a sauce pan and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Serve with a little spoonful of sour cream or creme fraiche on the and top and garnish as you like.
