Leave a comment

This easy Homemade Tomato Tortellini Soup will change your life. That is if you love tomato soup but have never made it from scratch like this before. It’s creamy and super healthy for you. Not to mention absolutely delicious! 

And trust me it does not compare in any way to the canned stuff. But you are just gonna have to try it for yourself to see.

What Is Passata tomato sauce 

Passata is a tomato purée made from fresh, tomatoes that are bottled for use.

I like to use “Passata Sauce” in this soup because it basically is uncooked tomato puree without seeds or skins and works so well when making this type of soup.

Of course you can always use fresh tomatoes and blend them into a puree in the blender as well.

Totally up to you!

So if your craving some basic tomato soup, but also want a hearty meal as well.

Then this recipe is going to be one of your go to tomato soups going forward. Trust me! It’s mine.

Easy Tomato Tortellini Soup

Is a versatile recipe but what makes it EASY is that we are using pre-made pureed tomatoes.

Passata bottled tomatoes to be exact which are fresh tomatoes that have been uncooked but bottled

HOW TO MAKE Easy Tomato Tortellini Soup

  • Start with a bottle of PASSATA TOMATO PUREE SAUCE 
  • Then to add a bit more of a tomato base, I will use a can of tomato paste which blends out well when added to the vegetable stock. See recipe card below for all the steps!

HOW LONG DOES HOMEMADE TOMATO SOUP LAST?

You can freeze this up to 6 months but will want to eat it within 24 – 48s hours so the tomatoes don’t spoil in your fridge.

Also keep in mind, as with all my recipes. If you want to make more or less of this soup, simple adjust the serving size in the ingredients section above and the servings will automatically adjust for you. This soup can store in the fridge for up to 3 days and or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes: You can always use chicken stock in replace of vegetable if desired.

Parmesan Roasted Carrots

Leave a comment

I just love carrots, but that wasn’t always the case. I guess it’s because I grew up eating them the wrong way, boiled and tossed in butter after. Boring! 

So there was a time that I hated carrots, so much so that I never bought them in my adult years at all.

But I knew I had to find a way to eat them since they’re packed with beta-carotene a vitamin that is very important to have in your diet according to the eye doctors.

Not to mention the fiber along vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, vitamin B8, folate, potassium, iron, copper, and manganese, proves just how important it is to get this vitamin rich food in your diet as much as possible.

This recipe is super simple, you don’t even have to peel the carrots if you don’t want too. However if you decide to, they can be a good thing to add to your dog’s next meal.

To make this simple side, you will want to wash the carrots well then chop off the ends, and lay them out on a non stick pan.

Drizzle all over with olive oil and a few tsp of butter, along with thyme, basil and oregano and parmesan cheese then let your oven do it’s thing. Serve as a side dish to any meal, goes great during the holidays too! 

If you are peeling your carrots, then don’t waste those Nutritious peels, save them and top your dogs next meal with them for a couple of days of added nutrition!! Carrot peels contain an excellent source of Fiber and Vitamins. Read more about the benefits here Benefits Of Carrots For Your Dog

ALSO here is an excellent recipe for Homemade Air Fryer Oatmeal, Corn and Carrots dog treats! That your dog is going to love.
