TOMATO SOUP (The Paleo Way)

After cooking the left-overs I still had about 5 ripe tomatoes in the fridge. Idea ! Let’s make tomato soup. A bit spicy and massive. 🙂

This recipe follows the Paleo Diet way so it’s healthy and all natural.

This is a perfect food when there’s a cold going around; the chicken bone broth makes it easy on the stomach and it’s very nutritious thanks to all the tomatoes. And don’t skimp on the fresh basil, either; it really adds a flavour that you just can’t get from the dried spice.

Ingredients:

  • 5 large tomatoes, roughly chopped;
  • 1 large white onion, roughly chopped;
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped;
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced;
  • 1 tbsp. tomato paste;
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth;
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped;
  • ¼ cup coconut milk;
  • 2 tbsp. cooking fat;
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper;
