After a trip to the nursery, where I found Basil and Marjoram plants, I was inspired to make this delicious and easy to make Raw Tomato Basil Soup! It's packed with cancer protective ingredients and only takes a few minutes to assemble and blend in the Vitamix. (Note: other blenders or food processors may be used.) You may learn more about basil's protective qualities in the video I made here: https://youtu.be/g85MWsvvhl0
The herbs, garlic and lemon juice make this flavorful now (early spring)- you may add sun dried tomatoes or spinach as well roasted pine nuts as a garnish for some variations.
