Apple Tomato Soup (GF, V)

Source: Life as a Strawberry | Serves: 6-8 | Time: ~1 hr

Changes: skipped bay leaf. What does it even do?

Ingredients

2 tbsp EVO

½ large yellow onion, roughly chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 pound #apples, cored and roughly chopped (approximately 2 large apples or 3 small apples)

4 pounds fresh #tomatoes, roughly chopped (approximately 14-16 roma tomatoes)

salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add onions and garlic and sauté until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add apples, tomatoes, salt, and pepper to the pot and stir to combine.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are very soft and tomatoes have released most of their liquid - about 45 minutes.

Remove pot from heat. Remove and discard the bay leaves.

Use an immersion blender to carefully purée soup until it's smooth. This can take a few minutes!

Taste soup and add salt if necessary.

Serve immediately. We paired with grilled cheese.
