Bottling Tomato Soup-Smoothie

Yesterday, I experimented with making this Tomato Soup-Smoothie for a friend. It turned out well, so I'm planning to make it for my husband and I today. Plus, it's a quick way to use up some tomatoes I have here.

In blender, I put:

~ 3 Tomatoes from The Veggie Bin
~ a handful of Thyme from The Veggie Bin
~ Seasonings: To taste, Himalayan Sea Salt , Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Cayenne Pepper (tiny shake), an assorted Spicy Seasoning Blend I had on hand (just a little shake)
~ Juice from 1/2 a Lemon
~ 4 Dates (or, to taste)

I blended on the smoothie setting until the mixture was nice-n-smooth. The consistency, while fairly thick, was still easy enough to just drink.

About the soup-smoothie, my friend replied:
"Oh that Savory Smoothie was the BOMB!! I slurped it all down and sprinkled in a few kale chips."
What a nice way to get more tomatoes into our systems!

Tomato Hugs, :-)

  2. Thank you, Juicy C! :-) Yes, it was a simple combo that worked well. So, if you ever have some extra tomatoes hanging around that you need to use up quickly, well, pop 'em in the blender!!! :-)
