Gluten Free Tomato & Roasted Pepper Soup

Image

This Tomato and Roasted Pepper soup is still my homemade soup to date. I have been making this soup for a couple years now and it is always a success! It uses a limited number of ingredients that are not only easy to find but healthy as well. I love serving this soup with some brown rice, I have craved this for three days straight now. I can't wait to cozy up on the couch with another bowl of this and enjoy a few episodes of Breaking Bad, I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients: 

2 Tbsp. coconut oil

3/4 cup chopped onion

one can ( 796 mL) can crushed tomatoes

1 cup roasted red pepper, diced

1/4 basil, finely chopper

1/2 tsp. salt

2 cups chicken/ vegetable stock

1/2 cup quinoa flour

1. Melt the coconut oil in a medium saucepan. Saute the onion under tender ( 8 mins). Add the tomato, red pepper, and salt.

2. In a separate bowl whisk together the stock and quinoa flour. Slowly, add the mixture to the sauce pan. Bring to a boil. 

3. Once it is boiling, remove from heat and puree with a hand blender or a regular blender. 

4. Put back on heat and allow to simmer on low for about 30 mins.

Summer Lunch: Spicy Hummus, Spinach & Cherry Tomato Sandwich

Image

Hey everyone! I thought I would share with you my easy, quick lunch creation. I made myself two open face sandwiches with a light layer of spicy hummus, baby spinach, cherry tomato's, and topped with a small amount of feta cheese. 

I consider this a perfect summer lunch because it does not take a lot of effort while still being clean and healthy! Enjoy your summer!
