Easy Homemade {Gluten and Dairy Free} Tomato Soup

You can see the steam coming off of it.

1-6 oz can of tomato paste
3 cups water
3/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper or 1/4 tsp McCormick's steak seasoning (I sprinkled more McCormick's on later).
3/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp balsalmic vinegar or 2 tsp pomegranate juice

optional: 1 tsp italian seasoning
also optional add 2 TBS tapioca starch to a little water and then add to the mixture. I like it to cook until it thickens instead which gives a rich tomato flavor.

I like to top it with Glutino Croutons, Go Veggie! non-dairy Parmesan or a dollop of Vegenaise!

Combine ingredients in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until simmering. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened. I am posting this at Allergy-free Wednesdays.
