Delicious Tomato-Basil Soup


Ingredients
2 3/4  cups Strained tomatoes (1 bottle of Bionature Strained Tomatoes)
1 3/4 cups Diced tomatoes - No salt added (1 can of 365 no salt added diced tomatoes)
1 3/4 cups tomato sauce - No salt added (1 can)
1 cup almond milk - unsweetened
1 large or 2 medium shallots - whole
2 garlic cloves - minced
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup water (optional)
fresh basil (chiffonade) to taste
sea salt to taste
black pepper to taste
thyme to taste

Directions
In a pot, saute the minced garlic in the olive oil, add salt, pepper and thyme.
After a minute or two pour over the garlic the diced tomatoes, the strained tomatoes, tomato sauce and almond milk. (Careful, pouring the tomatoes so the hot oil doesn't splash everywhere.)
If you choose to add water, do so now. - I just used the water I cleaned the strained tomato bottle with.
Add the truvia packets and the whole shallots.
Bring to a boil, and let simmer for about 20 minutes.
Add the fresh basil and simmer for another 5 minutes.

Serve hot, garnish with fresh basil leaves
