Empty Fridge Zesty Tomato Soup (Dairy and Gluten Free)

Some days I just don't feel like grocery shopping. Staring at an almost empty fridge, I'm determined to make it one more day. This zesty tomato soup is great for days like today. It's warm, full of flavor and super easy. 

If you don't have a super powerful blender, you can puree the tomatoes and cook the soup on the stove top. It will take a little longer and probably won't get as thick since the Vitamix whips in quite a bit of air. 

Zesty Tomato Soup

Serves 2-3

2 14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp granulated onion
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
Balsamic vinegar reduction

1. Combine all ingredients except the vinegar in a Vitamix blender and secure lid. 
2. Start blender at Variable 1 and increase to Variable 10. 
3. Blend for 6 minutes. Turn down to 1 before turning off the machine. Be careful of the hot steam when you remove the lid. 
4. Serve with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction.
