Tomato Bisque Soup

Once again I decided to make my little brother and his girlfriend some yummy soup so here is my SUPER EASY AND FAST recipe for tomato bisque soup.
 In a large pot add 1 heaping tablespoon coconut 
oil and place pot on medium heat.
 I found this at Traders Joe's and I'm in love!
 For a few bucks it has carrots, celery and onions! LOVE THIS!
 Into the pot goes approximately 1 large chopped carrot, 1 large stalk celery chopped and 1/2 of a white onion chopped. I decided the Trader Joe's wasn't enough so we added one more half of a chopped onion and 1 teaspoon crushed garlic.
  Cook this and stir frequently until the vegetables are soft. Next add 3 teaspoon better than bouillon chicken paste. You can you use your own broth or bouillon cubes if you wanted to.
 Then add 3 cups water and stir.
 Next open two 28 ounce cans of crushed tomatoes.
 Add the crushed tomatoes to the pot. 
Add 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves.
 Stir and crank the heat up until the soup is just barely boiling. 
Let cook like this for 20 to 30 minutes.
 Once the soup is ready it will resemble chunky salsa but have no fear we will make it smooth by mixing it all up in he blender!
 In small batches puree the soup and serve hot.
This recipe made 8 servings of soup. Adding a dollop of sour cream would make for a nice garnish. We also forgot to season with slat and pepper but didn't notice that it was missing. 

Enjoy!
