Hearty Primal Tomato Soup

Here is one of my favorite tomato soup recipes, it is creamy and hearty and oh so good.

Hearty Primal Tomato Soup

2 tbs butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup raw, whole, fresh goat milk (or heavy cream)
3 cups organic tomato or vegetable juice
4 tbs tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh or dry oregano to taste
Fresh or dry basil to taste

1 1/4 cup organic cottage cheese or chevre
Grated organic Parmesan or romano

Try to use all organic items, and as many fresh and raw as possible.

Melt butter in a thick bottomed medium pot ad saute onions for about 2 minutes.

Gradually blend in goat milk (or cream), stir in tomato paste till all lumps are gone, gradually stir in tomato (veg) juice and season to taste.

Cook over low heat stirring often for 5 minutes at a gentle simmer.

Serve warm topped with cottage cheese, chevre cheese or sour cream and sprinkled with fresh grated parmesan or romano cheese.

This makes enough for me to have 4-5 moderate bowls full. No one else in the house likes tomato soup so I get the whole pot to myself. I usually have a bowls worth for dinner then enjoy it for lunch for several days through out the week. The cheese makes it a great hearty and filling choice, and I have always been a sucker for tomatoes and cheese together.
