Warm Live "Cream of Tomato" Soup
A delicious, simple, quick, warm, raw, comforting vegan soup recipe full of living enyzmes, protein-building amino acids, and the health-giving properties of essential fatty acids, beta carotene & lycopene.
Literally prepare and clean up after this soup within just a few minutes. A warm and satisfying raw-foods meal could hardly be much easier… And the ingredients used are basic staples of a good raw foods kitchen — nothing weird or exotic.
Be sure to check out my other recipe for Fresh Cream of Tomato Soup (A Creamy, Warm Live, Vegan Recipe for Anyone), made deliciously creamy with fresh almond milk!
Warm Live “Cream of Tomato” Soup Recipe
makes one large serving
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (or equivalent in another tomato, chopped to measure)
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1 very small clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon cold-pressed olive oil
- quality salt to taste (such as Himalayan Crystal salt or Celtic Sea salt)
- a few good dashes of cayenne (chili powder) to taste
- fresh-ground black pepper
- 2 cups hot water
Put all ingredients except water in blender.
Add hot water (not boiling… just get the steam going — if you’re heating up in a pan, you could still be able to put your hand in the water without cooking it off).
Leave corner of blender lid open to allow steam to escape and blend on low setting. Suggestion: Know before-hand how your blender will behave with this open lid situation, so that you don’t end up experiencing “tomato rain”. 
(Alternatively, you could put all ingredients in a tall bowl and blend with a hand-blender.)
Eat right away (it cools off quickly!), either as is or garnish with fresh greens, scallions, pine nuts, chopped pistachios, or chopped fresh tomato and cilantro!
If you’re not doing “all raw”, crunch up some organic tortilla chips and mix into the soup for added texture, flavor, and “weight” to the meal.
Bon apetit!
[Note about salt: Don't under-salt, but at the same time be aware that salt, garlic, and onions in warm live soups -- as in all raw foods -- "go further" than in cooked food recipes. Their taste tends to come through much more prominently!]
