Beth's Tomato Soup (Raw or Cooked)
Submitted By: Beth, DePere, Wisconsin
This recipe can very easily be turned into a RAW recipe. Simply follow the recipe above but rather than cooking the ingredients, place them all in a blender, and blend them until all ingredients are in liquid form. In a Vita-Mix or Blendtec blender, allowing the blender to continue to run for several minutes will warm the soup but will not make it hot enough to destroy the enzymes.
If a Vita-Mix is not available, just blend all vegetables into a liquid form, and then heat until just warm, but not hot. This will also give you a warm soup on a cold day, without killing the enzymes.
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic (pressed or chopped fine)
- 1 onion (cut in chunks)
- 3 stalks celery (cut in chunks)
- 1 carrot (cut in chunks)
- 4 tomatoes (cut in large pieces)
- 1 teaspoon basil (dried - use fresh if available)
- 3 cups distilled water
- 1 small zucchini (cut in chunks)
- unrefined sea salt (to taste)
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a soup pot and simmer over low heat until all vegetables are soft.
- Allow to sufficiently cool, so that the soup can be transferred to a blender or food processor safely, and then blend until smooth.
- Return to the cooking pot, bring to a simmer, and it is ready to serve.
