Summer Tomato Soup / Sauce WW Blue 0 point

 

Summer Tomato Soup / Sauce

I bought about 8-10 tomatoes a week ago. As they start to ripen, I kept two firmer ones for sandwiches and with the rest I decided to take and make a puree sauce. So I can use it on pasta, or pizza. You can make it and leave in fridge for a week or so. You can also freeze it.

Mine is in my instant pot / but you can do the slow cooker also.

Tomato Sauce / Soup

**if you are using your instant pot then put in this way.** otherwise it doesn't matter with a slow cooker.

Rough Dice up and throw in.

Tomatoes ( I had 8 and 2 that I threw in freezer that went to fast last week, before I got to them)

Onion

Carrot (2)

Oregano 2tbls

Basil (I only had dried, so 2 tbls If you have fresh just throw that in.

Garlic (I used a good amount of minced, but you could just throw in fresh cloves)

Close up and set for 20 minutes and a natural release. (no hurry to open it, if you do need to release it after a 10 minute natural release)

Puree with a stick blender. You can wait and safely do it after it cools.

As I was putting in the jar for the fridge, I tasted it and it had a slight metallic taste (that is okay it is the tannins in the tomatoes - just a pinch of baking soda, clears it and it is so sweet and savory good.

While I put in the jars, the smell is so fresh, like a garden tomato is in the summer. I decided to ladle a bit into a bowl. I was right.

Tomato Soup.

Fresh, Light, and a little salt, pepper and I drizzled a little high end olive oil on mine.

I even tried the crunchy chili oil (ww it has points)

It spiced it a bit. But I think just a little hot sauce would have been enough.

I am thinking those parm crisps would have been yummy floating in it.

So this recipe is a two for one.

A Sauce or a Soup?

I wonder which it will be at my house. We have taken two bowls of soup from it.

I might just have to hit that stand again.

I am outta tomatoes.. go figure..

The soup was such a summery meal.

WW Blue notes

This is a great 0 point Sauce/ Marinara or a Tomato Soup.

I kid you not the freshness of the summer in the tomato

This also works for me, I am trying to keep my WW on the clean eating side.

Living your best life and doing what feels good for you is the secret.

Keep it simple, Stay well and safe.
