raw tomato pesto soup

soup is pretty much my favorite food to eat, but it can take a long time to make a batch when simmering and sauteing are involved.  that is the great thing about raw soup – it can take just a few minutes to make yourself a meal.

this raw tomato pesto soup uses a lot of tomatoes, an avocado to thicken and add a creamy texture, and some pesto for a delicious kick of flavor.

raw tomato pesto soup
1 avocado
4 roma tomatoes (about 3 cups)
1/4 c olive oil
4 tbsp raw pesto (check out my recipe for hemp pesto)
1 tsp fresh basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika

blend all ingredients until smooth.

serve topped with more pesto and basil.
