Ingredients

  • 14 oz. (1 can) diced tomatoes in juice
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic (from about 3 cloves)
  • 1 small red chili pepper (can also use jalapeño, habanero, or dried chili pepper), scrape seeds out if you don't like a lot of heat
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ cups 2% milk (can also use soy milk)
  • 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, plus more for sprinkling on top
  • 2 tsp finely chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat your oven's broiler and place oven rack in the middle position. Strain tomatoes, reserving the juices in a small bowl. Spread tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and broil until tomatoes are browning; about 8-10 minutes.
  • In a food processor or blender combine broiled tomatoes, garlic, chili pepper, carrot, milk, reserved tomato juices, and lemon juice. Puree until the mixture is smooth.
  • Transfer pureed soup to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, until heated through. Stir in salt and pepper.
  • Serve in bowls and garnish with parsley and additional black pepper. For extra comfort, be sure to serve the soup with a side of grilled cheese!
