Keto Tomato Soup

A hearty soup for the winter
Yes! You read that right, it’s Keto tomato soup. You can eat tomatoes on the Keto diet and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Tomato soup is one of those dishes that brings back memories of long distance train journeys.

Tomatoes You can also use tinned ones
50 grams Onion
10 grams garlic
300 ml Chicken stock I recommend this
100 ml Fresh Cream (Heavy Whipping Cream) Try this one
50 grams Salted Butter Try this one
1/2 Tsp Black Pepper Powder Try this one
1/2 Tsp Smoked Paprika Try this one
1 Tsp Pumpkin Spice Mix You can also use ‘All Spice’ mix Try this one
Fresh Basil for garnish
Cheese for garnish
Salt to Taste

Instructions
Heat the butter in a heavy bottom saucepan and once it has melted add in the onions with a pinch of salt.
Cook the onions low and slow till they start to turn brown and caramelize.
Add in the garlic and cook till it starts to brown and then add in the tomatoes and cook for about 2 minutes.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook on a low heat for 5 minutes
After 5 minutes of cooking add in the pepper, paprika and pumpkin spice. Also add in about 100ml of chicken stock. If your stock has no salt then add salt as well.
Cover with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes till the tomatoes are completely soft. Keep opening the lid every 2-3 minutes and stirring to ensure nothing sticks.
Once it’s cooked and tender let it cool. Then blend the mixture in a food processor or using an immersion blender. Add more stock if needed to make it easier to blend.
Strain the mixture to get a silky smooth soup. Add more stock if the soup is too thick.
Add heavy whipping cream to the soup and warm it up.
Finish with fresh pepper, a bit of cheese and fresh chopped basil. Enjoy!!
