Don’t be misled by the name. There is no cream in here. You blend half the soup so you end up with a creamy, chunky version. It’s totally fat-free, which I love. Don’t be turned off by the list of spices. If you have Creole seasoning, use that instead, to taste. I prefer doing it this way because the taste is just right.
1 and 1/2 tablespoons chicken soup mix, dissolved in 1 and 3/4 cups warm water
1 and 1/2 cups Gefen Tomato Juice
1 cup water
1 large sweet potato, diced
2 carrots, sliced in half-circles
2 stalks celery, sliced
2 cups canned diced tomatoes (any leftovers can be frozen for later use)
2 cups frozen string beans
1 and 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
pinch thyme
pinch sugar (optional)
pesto, for garnish
In a large pot, combine all vegetables. Season with spices. Bring to a boil and simmer for one hour.
Let cool slightly. Remove half the soup from the pot. Blend the remaining soup with a hand blender. It need not be pureed, just blended to small pieces. Return rest of the soup to the pot and stir together well.
Serve with a dollop of pesto if desired.
