- 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
- 2 28-ounce cans whole or diced tomatoes, with juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian broth powder or 1 vegetable bouillon cube
- 1-2 tablespoons tomato paste

- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups plain dairy-free milk
- 1 cup cooked brown rice optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh or dried dill for garnish
Instructions
- Coat a large pot with cooking spray. Add onion and carrot and sauté over medium-high heat, adding a few drops of liquid as necessary to keep vegetables from sticking. When onion is wilted, add tomatoes with juice, garlic, and salt. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Purée mixture in batches in a blender or food processor. Return to the pot and add broth powder, tomato paste, sugar, bay leaf, and dill. Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes over low heat.
