Velvety Tomato Basil Cream Soup
The natural acidity of tomatoes cuts through a dull palate, helping to stimulate taste buds. Blending in a touch of heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk introduces necessary calories to support weight maintenance.
Gentle for metallic taste, low appetite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp heavy cream or full-fat canned coconut milk
- 2 fresh basil leaves
How to make it
- Simmer the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and basil leaves together in a small saucepan for 10 minutes.
- Remove the basil leaves, stir in the cream or coconut milk, and blend until completely smooth. Serve warm.
