The Scarlet Soup

Serving: 4

It's hot, it's sizzling, it's glowing, it is my healthy version of the tomato soup. Get the benefits of raw tomatoes while not compromising the taste. Lets see how..

I've read a lot about how exposing food to prolonged high temperatures can take away a lot of the vitamins. I bought the vitamix, which I love for smoothies, but did not enjoy the taste of raw veggies soup.
In this recipe I will show you how to make the best tomato soup preserving most of the vitamins and minerals for a rich taste and a super antioxidant meal.

Gluten Free, Dairy Free

Ingredients:
4 large tomatoes (peeled and left whole)
2-4 organic chicken drumsticks
1/2 cup dried mint
1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped parsley for garnish
1 onion (chopped)

Directions:
1. In a medium size bowl place the oil, the chicken, the onions, and the spices.
2. Sautee on high heat for 5 min. Cover with water, bring to a boil, then cook on medium heat for 20 min or until chicken is tender.
3. Remove the drumsticks and leave the chicken broth water in the pan
4. In a separate pan place the tomatoes and the mint, cover, and turn on the heat on the lowest setting (warm can work) stirring occasionally.
5. Once the tomatoes are tender (maybe in 10-15 min) Turn off the heat.
6. Mash the tomatoes using a large spoon till you get a creamy texture (it should be very easy to do so when they become soft)
7. Add the chicken broth we created to your tomato mixture until you get the consistency you like
8. Serve hot and garnish with parsley
