Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup diced carrot
  • 1/3 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced zucchini about 1 small
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste
  • 2 14.5 ounce cans diced tomatoes NOT drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 cups chicken stock/broth
  • 1 cup milk I used 1%
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large kettle. Once hot, add carrot, onion salt, pepper, and basil. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, until soft.
  • Add minced garlic, zucchini, cooking for an addition 5-8 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato paste and allow to just caramelize. (If you are worried about burning it, you can skip the caramelize).
  • Stir in diced tomatoes and chicken stock. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes, making sure your vegetables are nice and soft.
  • Blend until smooth using an immersion blender and blend. (a shorter time if you want texture, a longer time if you want a more commercial tomato soup).
  • Slowly stir in milk and honey. Leave over the heat until warm.
  • If you want a thicker soup, feel free to allow it to cook down a little bit.
