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.

WW BLUE NOTES

·         This was a really low point lunch and I would have probably been satisfied completely but I had that dag on parsnip sitting around so I made some fries.

·         You should try this and let me know.
