Calories 69 kcal

Equipment

  • 1 blender Preferably one that can do hot soups!
  • 1 Large pot in case you don't have a blender!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 28oz can whole peeled tomatoes low sodium if possible
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 Cups low sodium chicken stock
  • 1 Tbsp parsley can also throw in basil and or both
  • 3 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • First add a little oil to a non-stick pan and sauté onion for a few minutes.
  • Add the onion and rest of the ingredients to a soup blender and blend on high speed
  • If you don't have a soup blender, start with a large pot and after the onion is translucent add the rest of the ingredients. Boil once and then simmer low for 10 minutes. I encourage using crushed tomatoes here instead of whole peeled to get the soup smoother. You can also always use an immersion blender at the end to get it to the right consistency.
