Tomato Soup







Note: For this recipe, you'll need to use a knife and put the soup pot on the stove, so get help from a grownup. This soup works as a packed lunch if you use a thermos. It also can be frozen in individual containers for future use.

Prep time: 40-50 minutes
What you need:
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 (16 oz.) box of low-sodium vegetable stock
  • 1 (28 oz.) can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup basil, chopped
  • ¾ cup alphabet shaped pasta
Equipment and supplies
  • Large Dutch oven or other heavy bottomed stock pot
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
What to do:
  1. Place olive oil into the large pot over medium heat. (Adult help needed here!)
  2. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook until vegetables begin to soften, about 8 minutes.
  3. Stir in vegetable stock and crushed tomatoes.
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Stir in basil and pasta and cook until pasta is tender, about 5 additional minutes. Serve hot.
