This is another great quick, easy and tasty soup to eat when either cleansing or maintaining an alkaline diet. It is a lot lighter than some of the other alkaline raw soups, so it is more summer/spring suited.
Raw Summer Italian Soup
1 avocado (add more for extra creamyness)
4 tomatoes, skinned
A generous bunch of basil
1/4 of a cup of cold pressed oil (olive, hemp or blend)
All you have to do is put the avocado (peeled and stoned), skinned tomato, basil and oil into a blender and whizz until smooth. For extra smoothness you can put through a sieve (removes the tomato pips). I also like to have a drizzle of oil on the top and also to rip a few extra basil leaves on top (because I love basil!).
Serve either chilled, or slightly warmed.
Enjoy!

Awesome recipe as I collect healthy recipes for a book I’m creating. Thank you and I can’t wait to read more of your post.
Hi Jared
Thanks for the kind words!

Sounds tasty and delicious! However, have you considered using palm oil in the recipe? According to the Palm Oil Truth Foundation (www.palmoiltruthfoundation.com) palm oil is an inherently healthy, heart-friendly natural oil that is packed with nutrients and antioxidants such as betacarotenes, tocotrienols (a stronger form of Vitamin E) and coenzyme Q10.
Best of all the oil is neutral in taste and is cheap and affordable!
