Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Some days I really just want a grilled cheese sandwich and bowl of tomato soup but I can’t have the gluten or the can of soup that I loved as a kid so let’s clean it up to a second-place version.

I’m using sweet potatoes in place of milk and wheat to get a creamy texture

See note below for the pressure-cooked version and lowering your lectins

·        1 box of chopped organic tomatoes (26 oz)

·        1 medium sweet potato peeled and chopped

·        1 cup of homemade bone broth (or a low FODMAP brand if necessary)

·        1 teaspoon of garlic infused olive oil (this is optional but use a certified low FODMAP version if necessary)

·        1 teaspoon of dried basil

·        sea salt to taste (watch if you use tomatoes with salt added)

Boil all ingredients until the potatoes are soft, blend and serve

Note: So, I’ve heard you can lower the lectin content of some foods by using your pressure cooker.  I don’t adhere to a low-lectin diet but I do take the opportunity when available. 

Add all ingredients to the multi-pot and pressure cook for 30 minutes, blend and serve.

Cheers and God Bless!
