Homemade Tomato Soup

This is sometimes a 'treat' meal for us...homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Normally, we don't eat much bread so once in a while we treat ourselves to this yummy meal. If you are making grilled cheese, choose organic whole wheat or seed bread (whole foods bakery makes some good ones) or ezekiel bread (found in the freezer section) and use organic raw cheese or goat cheese (instead of processed cheese slices). Either way, it is a warm and very simple meal that will please the whole family.

3 large tomatoes (diced coarsely and seeded)
1-2 cloves garlic (peeled and diced)
1/2 avocado (coarsely diced)
2-3 tbsp diced basil (more or less to taste)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup water
Sea Salt to taste
Ground Pepper to taste

Place all ingredients in a food processor (or blender) and process until fairly smooth. You can place it in the fridge for later or heat up on the stove and enjoy immediately. If you want leftovers or have a large family, you may want to double this recipe (we can usually eat it all in one meal and there's only three of us). The avocado makes it creamier so if you like it thicker you may add more or less for thinner soup. Enjoy experimenting with different things!
