Tomato Coconut Soup

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 cup diced celery
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups water
• 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (16 ounce) can coconut milk
• 1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

Directions

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and celery in the hot oil until softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Mix onion mixture, water, diced tomatoes, coconut milk, tomato sauce, and tomato paste together in a large pot; bring to just a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until heated through, 15 minutes.

Pour soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth.
