Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup
This dairy-free tomato soup is as creamy as can be with the addition of canned coconut milk, and no, it doesn’t taste like coconut. Jarred roasted red peppers and canned San Marzano tomatoes make this dish come together in a flash. It is a forgiving soup in that if you don’t have a full onion no worries… maybe you only have one leftover celery stalk, not a big deal. Just simmer and add your favorite Simply Organic Umami Blend or any combination of Frontier Co-op or Simply Organic spices you love. Pair it with my dinner strudel/spanakopita recipe or a grilled cheese. (Thank you to our friend Stacey Swanson for creating this wonderful recipe.)

- 2 tablespoons or more to taste of Simply Organic Umami Blend Sweet & Smoky (you can play around with any of the spices to taste. Pizza seasoning, Herbs of Italy, Berbere, El Ras Hanout, so many options, just make sure you start with a smaller amount than is listed and adjust for taste)
