Raw Tomato Tahini Soup

Another yummy raw soup recipe to share!  Jack and I just finished devouring this amazing raw soup, which I made with my new handy dandy Vitamix!  This soup is stupid good.  The original recipe called for 5-6 tomatoes and did not have carrots in the ingredients list.  I supplemented the carrots because, frankly, that's all I had in my fridge.  I left a little 1/2 cup to the side and mixed it with some rice meal for my baby.  He lapped it up faster than we did!  This is some good eatin' people.


Raw Tomato Tahini Soup

Ingredients:

• 2-3 medium-sized ripe tomatoes (heirloom would be awesome!)
• 3 carrots peeled
• 6 sundried tomatoes
• 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp raw tahini
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• juice of 1/4 lemon
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Directions:

1. Cut tomatoes and carrots into chunks.
2. Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree, starting with a pulse and building up to higher speed. Add water if needed to keep the mixture moving, but if you begin with a few pulses, you shouldn’t have a problem.  I added about 1/4 cup of water to the blend.
3. Pour and enjoy!

Makes 4 cups/3-4 servings
