Tasty Tomato Soup


This is the most amazing soup ever, and the best part is it's healthy! It makes about 4 servings, but you'll definitely want to double it because you'll want it again, and again, and again!



1 T. Olive Oil

1 Onion, chopped

2 celery stalkes, sliced

1 carrot, sliced

1 baking potato, peeled and chopped

1 28 oz. can plum tomatoes in juice

3 cups vegetable or chicken stock

1 t. sugar

1 bay leaf

salt and freshly ground black pepper


1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, celery and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened but not colored.

2. Add the carrot and potato and stir for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes with their juice, the stock, sugar, and bay leaf. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then return the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.

3. Let cool slightly. In batches, puree in a blender. Return to pot. Adjust seasoning. Reheat gently, Serve hot.
(Left overs are even better!)
