Healthy tomatoes soup in 5 minutes!

This could be your very first step in the kitchen, giving you the courage to begin the amazing adventure of cooking real meals for you and your dear ones, or it could be just a fast but not furious way to enjoy a decent and healthy cup of tomatoes soup on a grey and busy work day.

Yes, you might be too tired for a… late grocery shopping session, and another cooking session, back home, but you still want to eat some comfort food. So, all you need is a good tomatoes puree can, some onion flakes, or soup veggie mix, about a tablespoon, some dried parsley, one tablespoon of sweet red bell pepper paste, and a good blob of olive oil. Give them a good boil with half a cup of water, check for salt, because it might already be salty enough, thanks to the red bell peppers paste and the soup veggie mix. Optional, add some black or green olives, half a cup of tofu cubes, if you don’t want to eat any milk or meat, and you’re comfort healthy food is so ready to help you relax!

Of course, this is the easiest version ever, but you can turn a tomatoes can into puree, and you can also use tomatoes juice. If you have more time and energy, you can finely chop an onion or couple of spring onions, you can replace the tofu with some rice, potatoes, croutons, or some grated cheese, and your possibilities are endless, trust me!

This is the basic way to enjoy a healthy tomatoes soup. The rest is up to you and your amazing imagination! It is also a good way to make your kids start cooking. When the soup is bubbling, add an egg, for special effects, and your kids or grandkids will love this… cooking together experience even more. Next time when you want a tomatoes soup, try to add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or double cream and replace the olive oil with the truffle version, or with its garlic, or chili version, if kids are not around. Trust me, you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen to enjoy a decent cup of soup!
