But I suppose when your first direction is to "roast the garlic" and the recipe even calls for "roasted" you should probably have some on hand. I don't, I skipped that step and roasted just the onion. And it was fine. Really. You can get all fancy if you want to, but the chopped stuff is just fine.
Anyway- here is the recipe:
INGREDIENTS
6 large garlic cloves, slightly flattened
6 onzes shallots, peeled and halved 2tablespoon olive oil
2(14 1/2-ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
3 cups chicken broth, divided
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Pinch of ground red pepper
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
DIRECTIONS
VERDICT
When I first entered this recipe to get the nutrition information, it came back at 87 calories per serving. And I was nervous. How can anything that healthy be filling or taste any good?
I was wrong. It is great soup. I didn't make it as smooth as the recipe called for (I guess I should have left it in the food processor longer) and it had chunks of onion and tomato. And I used entirely too much hot sauce and cayenne pepper. I'd definitely keep it that hot next time as well.
I added a few Garlic Rosemary Parmesan Biscuits and the whole meal was still under 400 calories.
Overall, the soup is easy to make, healthy, and packs a punch with all that spice!
