Blender soups are a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet. The smooth and creamy texture of the soup makes it easy to digest, and the added vegetable broth provides additional nutrients and flavor. By making the soup from scratch, you can control the amount of salt and sugar that goes into it, which is especially important for those who are watching their sodium or sugar intake.

Ingredients Needed

• Tomatoes, halved - the best type of tomatoes to use are ones that you have just started growing in your garden.
• Medium onions - yellow or white
• Garlic - Chopped fresh garlic can take some time to chop so I often always use the freshly minced garlic that comes already made in a jar.
• Olive oil - Look for olive oils that are labeled as extra virgin, cold-pressed, and unfiltered for the highest quality.
• Fresh basil - sometimes if I don't have any fresh basil I'll use either a couple tablespoons of store bought pesto.
• salt and pepper, to taste
• See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
