Heirloom Tomato Soup

One reason to love Fall? The overabundance of garden veggies! I brought these beautiful heirloom tomatoes home from my grandma’s garden and made this delicious soup. I paired it with a grilled cheese sandwich and was in absolute heaven.

Ingredients :
 
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium yellow onions; chopped
5 cloves garlic; chopped
1-2 red chili peppers (could also use 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes)
½ teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 ½ cups veggie broth
4 pounds heirloom tomatoes; chopped
1 tablespoon basil
½ cup vegan sour cream

Directions:

1. In a large soup pot over medium heat olive oil; add onions, garlic, chili pepper, paprika, and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes stirring intermittently until onions are translucent.

2. Add tomatoes to the pot and heat for about a minute

3. Add veggie broth and basil and mix with an immersion blender. If you don’t have one, you could always use a food processor or blender and return ingredients to the pot once you have mixed them.

4. Heat for another minute or so and add sour cream. Adjust salt to taste.
