Tomato and Mushroom Soup


Lola actually made and ate this soup, so I can't testify to its taste, but I'm sure it was delicious. We made an exciting expedition out to the Target in Brooklyn at the beginning of this semester and got an immersion blender, so Lola has been making many soups. It looks a bit weird in this picture, but I can assure you that in person it was a lovely pinkish-red color.


Tomato and Mushroom Soup serves 1
Chop up 1 tomato and saute it in olive oil with a handful of mushrooms. Add a small pinch of red pepper flakes and a larger pinch of Italian seasoning and saute until mushrooms are soft and lightly browned. Blend with 1/2 cup to 1 cup veggie broth (depending on how thick or watery you want the soup)

-Rita
p.s. from lola: the soup was delicious, our kitchen counter is super messy but i wanted you to see my awesome blender, and in the top photo you can also see bread with tj's chipotle hummus, which you should try.

Soups always photograph weirdly. Not really sure why. But I trust that it was delicious!


Have to try that chipotle hummus. Have you had their 3 layer one - it's my favorite.
