Ingredients
14 ounces (1 can) diced tomatoes in juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small fresh or dried red chile pepper, seeds removed for less heat
1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups plain soy milk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt and ground pepper, to taste
Parsley leaves, for garnish
Directions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped chile pepper, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced carrot and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the carrot is slightly softened.
- Incorporate Tomatoes: Pour in the diced tomatoes along with their juice. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Blend and Add Soy Milk: Remove the saucepan from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches. Once blended, return it to the pot and stir in the soy milk and lemon juice.
- Reheat and Serve: Gently reheat the soup over low heat until warmed through. Adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley leaves.
