Tomato Basil Soup and Today is My Birthday!

So today is my official birthday :-). I celebrated Saturday night because Tuesday isn't a great night to have a party :-). I will get to see lots of friends tonight though as I will be performing improv theatre at Relapse Theatre followed by a five minute acro yoga performance. By the way I am 29 years old! Ahhhhhh, almost out of my twenties but I still have a year left, right?
I have some exciting news about my blog, it has been featured on the website nursingschools.net. My blog is one of ten raw food blogs listed under The Fifty Best Blogs For Cleaner Eating. You can check out the link here. It was fun to get that news this morning. Anyways, I made this tomato basil soup for an early lunch today. I have a busy day with a dress rehearsal for the acro performance, yoga classes to teach and performing tonight! I love this light refreshing soup, especially now that tomatoes are so abundant! I can't seem to get enough soups lately! I have been making soup almost every day. Maybe since they are so light and easy for the body to digest I have been craving them! Hope you get to try it!

Tomato Basil Soup:

Ingredients:
2 large tomatoes
1 handful of basil
1 avocado
1/4 cup of onions
1 tsp sea salt (more or less to taste)

Directions: Combine ingredients into the vitamixer and blend at a low setting. I like my veggies to still be a bit chunky. Garnish with some diced tomatoes.

*Another option is you can leave out the avocado if you want a low fat version. It will still taste refreshing and just won't be so creamy! Good luck!
