The original recipe calls for 1 Tbs of olive oil but I thought that was a bit too much, so I used only 1 tsp. I also subbed canned diced tomatoes for the condensed tomato soup. The tomato soup has a lot more carbohydrates than the canned diced tomatoes, and also some fat. I think my version is healthier, and tastier.
Here it is.
Red Bean and Tomato Soup
Makes 2 servings
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 tsp canola/olive oil blend
- 1 cup canned red kidney beans, drained
- 1 - 1/4 cups canned diced tomatoes, blended
- 2 Tbs Italian herbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup water
- Saute the onions, garlic, and celery in the olive oil over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes in a medium saucepan, stirring often.
- Blend the kidney beans, tomatoes and herbs in a blender for 2 to 3 minutes. Add to the pot along with 1 cup of water.
- Cook for 15 minutes.
- Season to taste.
Per serving.
