Creamy Tomato Soup
There is something so comforting about a bowl of creamy tomato soup, don't you agree? But most tomato soups leave you feeling heavy and sluggish since they are made with loads of heavy cream. Not my recipe. First, we start by adding bone broth so not only is it especially tasty but nutrient dense and nourishing for the gut as well! Then, I added a sweet potato which is my secret ingredient in most of my blended soups because they add a little sweetness but also make for an incredibly creamy soup, just as if you had added heavy cream! This particular recipe is so light and refreshing, it is a perfect soup for summer months paired with a seasonal mixed greens salad.
As for the little Parmesan fritter on top, these are SO easy to make! Just preheat your oven to 400*F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, add a few pinches of Parmesan spacing about a couple inches apart (like you're making cookies) and bake for 4-7 minutes depending on level of crispiness. Parmesan is also an excellent cheese for gut health because it is generally an aged cheese so is higher in probiotic content. YAY!
