Turmeric Tomato Detox Soup

Oh my fuck, people, this is tasty damn soup!!!

Now, let’s go over a few things for the ingredients. I forgot to buy a damn onion apparently, so I’m sure this tastiness is ten times better with a real onion rather than the chopped dried onion I used. Also, they say a small onion, but I didn’t see any small onions that weren’t pearl at my store, which is probably why I forgot to grab one in the first place. Or I may have thought I still had half an onion in the fridge, which I did but then threw out because it didn’t look very pretty. At any rate, still fucking tasty with the dried onion bits. I used about a handful. Everything else I did exactly as the recipe called for.

I heated the oil, onion, and garlic on a low setting to start because coconut oil has a 125 degree smoke point and I didn’t feel like setting off the smoke detector. Once I added the rest, I turned the heat up to medium to bring it to a boil before taking it back down to low to simmer. I also let it simmer just a tad longer.
