Tomato Basil soup

Ingredients
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 can of broth (same size as the tomato can you are using)
- 1 can of water (use the empty tomato can to measure)
- 1/3 cup of coconut milk
- 4-5 cloves of garlic
- 1 Serrano chilli
- Pam spray or Olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Need a blender


Preparation

  • Put a deep sauce pan on medium heat and pour in the tomatoes, broth and water
  • Salt a little and cover to cook for 20 minutes 
  • Uncover and let boil for about 5-6 minutes at least
  • Cut the garlic and chilli into chunks
  • Spray Pam on a shallow pan and turn to high on the stove
  • Throw in the garlic and chilli and toss around
  • Leave it on the heat for a few seconds at a time to get some nice roasted color on it (darker the better roasted taste)
  • Once roasted, add the garlic and chilli to the tomato mixture and let it boil another 2-3 minutes
  • Let it all cool
  • Take your blender out and blend this as smooth as possible
  • Transfer back into the deep pan and bring back to medium
  • Pour in the coconut milk and add salt as desired
  • Close and let boil for about 6-7 minutes
  • Top with basil leaves if you have and serve
