Jo's Delicious Homemade Tomato Soup

My friend Jo who is visiting with me this week made this delicious tomato soup.  Yum, we made some tomato and bacon sandwiches to go with it.  I had to go back and get a second bowl it was so good.

We used the tomatoes we had on hand which was a combination of fresh and my organic frozen one's out of my garden freezer.  You can of course substitute a can of diced  tomatoes.   Hope you enjoy.


Ingredients:

4 Roma Tomatoes washed and diced
2 quart packages of my garden organic tomatoes thawed
2 Tablespoons EVOO or coconut oil
1 can of beef consume soup - organic or (substitute boullion cubes with 1 cup of water or any beef soup that you might have on hand)
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon Braggs Liquid Aminos
Salt to taste

Steps:

Saute tomatoes in EVOO
Add in beef consume soup and other ingredients
Cook on low for about 20 to 30 minutes.

After cooking pour into  a blender or food processor and blend until almost smooth
We left it so there were bits of tomatoes. 
Put back in pot and cook an additional  15 minutes

Delicious.

Enjoy

Black Skillet Frittata

I love this recipe because it is so easy and fun to make.  It is all made in one small black skillet and a bowl.  This means easy clean up.  Also, I enjoy varying the ingredients to make it taste different.  The recipe here can be varied by changing the vege's, adding or changing the meats, or simply changing the cheese in the recipe.  I think it is very healthy and adds quite a bit of protein to your diet.   It is also gluten free.   Try it, I think you will enjoy.

Preheat over to 375 degrees:

Ingredients:

Fluff  in a bowl and set aside:
5 large eggs
1/4 cup unsweet almond coconut milk
salt and pepper
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

In small black skillet:

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil  to saute your ingredients:  (Feel free to vary or change up)

1/4 cup bell pepper
1/8 cup onion
1/4 broccoli florets
1/4 cup chopped canadian bacon (or ham, etc.)
1 Tbls chopped tomatoes or salsa

Saute ingredients until soft.  Pour fluffed egg mixture on top of vegetables.  Let sit on hot eye that has been turned off  about 1 minute.  Place in the oven and cook 10 to 15 minutes.  Serve hot.

These amounts and ingredients can change.  My Mom is now on a soft foods diet and she likes it.  I serve this for breakfast, brunch or lunch.  Really anytime I need a quick meal.
