Spicy Tomato Basil Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon flaxseed or olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth (I used 2 teaspoons of vegetable better than bouillon and 2 cups water because I like the taste better than regular broth)
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon sriracha (or more depending on how spicy you like it)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add onions and red pepper flakes and saute for 3 minutes until translucent.
- Add carrots, garlic, and Italian seasoning and saute for another 5 minutes until carrots are softened.
- Add the white wine and reduce the liquid by about a third.
- Add tomatoes, vegetable broth, basil leaves and sriracha.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes or longer.
- Add salt & pepper to taste and serve with additional fresh basil.
