Loaded Tomato Soup


I have been away from Blogger World for over two weeks--much too long. But so, so much has happened in this short time that it makes my head spin. Some of it stressful, some of it depressing and some of it very, very exciting! I will only focus on the exciting. I am now officially a certified RAW CHEF!!!! I am so excited about that. I made a trip up to Michigan and went through Raw Chef Certification with my wonderful sister-in-law. If there is anyone who can relate to this whole raw adventure it is definitely her! We had a blast and we were overwhelmed all at the same time. Wow what an experience. I will be posting all about it and I have loads of photos. I am still compiling everything and will get it up just as soon as I can. I have been tearing up the kitchen with raw recipes. So much else is going on here that it has been a bumpy few weeks, I look forward to smoother days.
Here is my lunch recipe that I wanted to share with you. Whenever organic corn is in season in SW Florida I snatch it up. I wanted to incorporate it into two different recipes this week and here is my first one, I call it Loaded Tomato Soup. All I can say is, it is truly fantastic. Super simple, super fresh and bursting with flavor. The soup base is actually a pizza sauce recipe that I learned while at Raw Chef "school". I just took that recipe, thinned it down with some extra water and added some olive oil and a few different ingredients.
