Dear Cancer Project supporter,

This version of tomato soup is heartier and chunkier than commercial varieties because it is lower in sodium and contains over 5 grams of fiber per serving . If you prefer a smooth soup, purée it in a blender. Navy, cannellini, and great Northern beans all work equally well in this recipe.


Directions

Makes 6 1-cup servings

1 1/2 cups water or vegetable broth, divided (1/2 cup plus 1 cup)
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup finely sliced celery
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 15-ounce can chopped or 1 1/2 cups crushed fresh tomatoes
1 15-ounce can white beans, undrained, or 1 1/2 cups of cooked white beans with 1/2 cup of additional water or vegetable broth
5 to 6 tablespoons apple juice concentrate (add larger amount for a sweeter soup)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine 1/2 cup water or broth with onion, celery, paprika, basil, thyme, and black pepper in a large pot. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium. Stir in tomatoes, beans and their liquid, apple juice concentrate, and remaining 1 cup water or broth. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.

Optional: add a basic non-dairy White Sauce for a creamier soup or non-dairy creamer. Add salt to taste.
