Tomato-Carrot Soup

Tomato-Carrot Soup

1 T. olive oil
6 scallions, thinly sliced (1 cup)
1 large clove garlic, minced
3 C. canned tomatoes, coarsely chopped with their juice
1 cup carrot juice
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 cup evaporated milk (using evaporated skim milk might also work and cut some fat and calories, but I haven’t figured the alternate yet since I haven’t tried it)

In medium saucepan, heat oil over low heat. Add scallions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and their juice, cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly thickened. Stir in carrot juice, salt, cumin, ginger, and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until flavors have blended. Stir in evaporated milk and cook just until heated through about 1 minute longer; do not boil.
