Description

Naturally low-in-fat buttermilk gives this soup its creamy texture. Serve it as a refreshing side to a tuna sandwich or wrap.

Ingredients

  • 6 medium fresh tomato(es), cut into chunks (about 8 cups)
  • 4 cup(s) fat-free reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 3 large uncooked onion(s), cut into chunks (about 3 cups)
  • 1⁄4 cup(s) canned tomato paste
  • 3 clove(s) garlic clove(s), peeled
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp table salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 1⁄2 cup(s) low-fat buttermilk
  • 1⁄3 cup(s) dill, fresh, leaves, chopped (stems removed)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring tomatoes, broth, onions, tomato paste, garlic, salt and pepper to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until onions are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
  2. Puree soup in pot using an immersion blender. Or transfer soup to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. (You'll need to do this in a few batches; be careful not to splatter hot liquid.)
  3. Pour pureed ingredients into a large bowl along with any liquid left in pot; stir in buttermilk and dill. Refrigerate until chilled (can be refrigerated for up to 5 days). Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
