Creamy Tomato Soup
Ingredients
4 tsp water or Pam Spray
1 ½ cups diced yellow onion
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried basil
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, in juices
1(6-ounce) can tomato paste
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup vegetable broth
1 (14-ounce) light coconut milk
3/4 tsp each sea salt and black pepper
1-2 Tbsp raw honey
Instructions
1. Heat the water/pam spray in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for ~4 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and dried basil and cook for ~1 more minute or until fragrant.
2. Add the tomatoes and their juices, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, broth, coconut milk, salt, pepper, and raw honey. Cover and bring to a simmer and let cook for 15-20 minutes. The longer it simmers, the deeper the flavor.
3. Turn off the heat and use an immersion blender to purée the soup (or if using a regular blender, let the soup cool first to avoid an explosion).
4. Bring soup back to a simmer over medium heat until warmed. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more raw honey to balance the acidity, coconut milk for creaminess, or salt for overall flavor. If you prefer a thicker soup, remove the lid and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until desired consistency is reached. 
5. Divide between bowls. Option to garnish fresh basil.
6. Leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days or in the freezer for 1-2 months.
