Creamy Fresh Tomato Basil Soup
Enjoy a vibrant, silky tomato basil soup that blends the brightness of fresh tomatoes with the creaminess of Greek yogurt and the hearty boost of red lentils. Finished with fragrant basil and a drizzle of olive oil, this comforting soup delivers a delightful balance of flavors and nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
3 cups Fresh Tomatoes (diced)
1 cup cooked Red Lentils
3/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Fresh Basil (chopped)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 small Onion, diced
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 cups Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the diced fresh tomatoes to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their juices.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the cooked red lentils and let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool slightly before carefully blending it to a smooth consistency using an immersion blender or a countertop blender.
Return the blended soup to low heat, then stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and chopped fresh basil. Warm the soup gently without boiling to prevent the yogurt from curdling.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
