Quick and Tasty Tomato Rice Soup

This one is great for those times that you don't want to cook or you don't have anything in the fridge. The recipe is simple and will be posted on my website but here is the sneak preview.

This soup can be wheat and dairy free, vegan too!

Dice half an onion and get it cooking on low/medium heat in a bit of olive oil. Open up a big can of diced tomatoes. Chop up some garlic and put it in the pan with the onions. Add two tbsp of brown rice flour and stir in. You can use any type of flour really. Brown rice is gluten free though and adds some body to the soup. Drain some of the tomato juice from the can into the pot and whisk into the flour mixture. Now add the rest of the tomatoes, a pinch of salt, 1 tsp of basil, 1 tsp of honey and some cayenne pepper if you like.

Pull out your hand blender if you would like to make a smooth soup. If you have leftover brown rice add it to the soup now. Bring the soup up to temperature and serve with grated raw organic cheddar or a sprinkling of nutritional yeast. Have it with a handful of greens too!

Enjoy the simplicity!
