Easy Microwave Tomato Soup!

If you are anything like me, you love quick, easy and cheap meals at home… who doesn’t? I have a great recipe here for microwaved tomato soup (that goes great with some flaky and buttery toast/grilled cheese). Here it is… blink and you might miss it! It is so easy!

Microwaved Tomato Soup:

1 Heirloom Tomato (cored, and cut into chunks)

1/2 White Onion (thinly sliced)

1 Garlic Clove (thinly sliced)

1 T. Tomato Paste

1/2 C. Water/Stock

1 t. Corn Starch

Salt and Pepper to taste

Place the tomato, onion, garlic and tomato paste into a large microwave safe bowl. Tightly cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 10 minutes on 80% power. Once the mixture is cooked through, carefully remove the plastic wrap. Add the water/stock, and salt & pepper to the bowl and mix. Blend the mixture in a food processor. At this point, the soup is done, or you can strain the soup for an extra silky smooth consistency. Serve hot.
