Prep Work For Tomato Soup:

• Roughly chop onion, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and carrots before starting the soup.

How To Make Fresh Tomato Soup:

• Heat oil in a saucepan or a heavy-bottom pan.
• Add onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
• Next, add the chopped carrot, bay leaf, chopped garlic, ginger, and sauté for 2–3 minutes.
• Add the Sacla Tomato & Roasted Garlic Sauce, and water, and simmer covered for 5 minutes on low-heat.
• Once the carrots turn soft, remove the lid. Gently mash the vegetables using the back of the ladle/spoon. Turn off the heat.
• Transfer them to a blender and make a smooth puree.
• Transfer back into the saucepan. Season to taste, and add coconut milk. Simmer the tomato soup for 3–5 minutes over low heat. If the consistency seems too thick, add a little bit more water, if it’s too runny cook it down for a little bit.
• Serve tomato soup with Finn Crisp Crackers, a drizzle of coconut milk, and chopped fresh basil leaves.
