Fresh Fire Roasted Tomato Soup

Submitted by Kozmic Blues

"Deliciously warm and comforting, but so simple! And it is low fat too. This is an adptation of a recipe I saw on the Fat Free Vegan Kitchen website. The author of the site mentions using the Muir Glenn brand of organic Fire Roasted Tomatoes, which is what I used when I made this. I believe this recipe is WW Core, if the sugar is not added"

5 Stars, we love tomatoes, and this was very satisfying. Not a fan of cooking spray, so used 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to saute. Did not notice "roasted" garlic cloves until too late, so minced 4 garlic cloves and sauteed with onion and celery. Used immersion blender instead of moving soup to blender; would have been less messy if I had used a Dutch oven to prepare this soup, and left soup somewhat chunky due to personal preference. Served as soup prior to linguine with Recipe#308692 #308692 for very filling meal. Made for veg*n swap August 2008.
