INGREDIENTS:
1 medium to large yellow onion, diced fine
3 garlic cloves, minced fine
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 & 1/2 cups unsweetened plan-tbased milk
4 & 1/2 cups canned organic stewed tomatoes (1/2 cup diced fine & set aside)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons organic dried basil
3/4 to 1 teaspoon sea salt or himalayn pink salt
fresh ground pepper to taste
Optional: fresh chopped organic basil & gluten free croutons
In a medium to large sauce pan over medium heat, add olive oil and onions, and saute until soft (approximately 1-2 minutes). Add garlic and continue to saute until fragrant (approximately 1 minute.) Note: Do not over cook garlic, as it can become bitter to taste. Remove pan from heat.
In a high speed blender add the sauteed onions and garlic, 4 cups of stewed tomatoes (reserving the 1/2 cup diced tomatoes for later) and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour blender contents back into sauce pan and add reserved 1/2 cup diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer on medium to medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 10 minutes, while stirring constantly to prevent soup from getting lumpy or burning on bottom of pan. Reduce heat to low and stir in remaining ingredients: cashew milk, maple syrup, dried basil and salt & pepper to taste. Remove from heat and pour into bowls.
Add optional fresh chopped organic basil & gluten free croutons; and immediately slurp away to your hearts content! :)
