Tomatoe soup with celery

The base of the raw tomato soup is fresh tomato, sundried tomato and water. We may flavor it with lemon juice, agave or date to strengthen the sour or sweet taste. I prepare this soup very often, because it’s easy, quickly ready, and this is the dish that non raw foodists will certainly eat.

I have tried to put onion in it-> it took away its taste, garlic -> it became worse, carrot -> it was good but not better than without it, and finally I put a stalk of celery in the soup -> It became really epicure! You dont need much, it is not celery soup but tomato soup! Try it, all you need is a blender!



Ingredients:
(for two adults)
3-4 tomatoes chopped up
¼ cups of sundried tomatoes (soaked for 2 hours)
½ stalk of celery
2 date (soaked)
2 sp fresh lemon juice
1 sp olive oil
1,5 cups water


Blend all the ingredients smooth, serve with nuts, basil. Put sprouts on top.

Be careful with salt, the sundried tomatoes are salty.Put some of the soaked tomatoe's liquid into the soup and it will flavour by adding a salty taste to it. If somebody, like me, doesn't want to use salt at all, should soak the sundried tomatoes well and then use clear water only.

This soup is a perfect summer one, ready in minutes.

Serve with seeds, sprouts and basil leaves.
