Raw Tomato Soup and Pasta Sauce
(with a little avocado)
This soup was a special request from my brother Johan for our Sunday raw food experience. Adding the avocado was his recommendation and it works like a bomb. If you want to go raw all the way, add extra chopped avo, sprouts and pumpkin seeds for a nutritious filling meal. You can also use a pile of raw baby marrow (courgette) slithers and use the soup as a pasta sauce. If you are not into raw so much yet, have it with a nice rye bread or just pour it over your spaghetti (or shongololos as Benjamin calls it).
- 5 fresh tomatoes and a handful of sun dried tomatoes if you have
- 1 large red pepper or two small
- 1 small leek
- ½ a clove of garlic
- A generous handful each of fresh basil and parsley
- One avocado
- A dash of olive oil
- Salt
- 1 cup hot water
Put all the ingredients in your blender and whiz up to desired consistency.
Add a piece of fresh chilly if you need to heat up your winter feet.

I have 12 rules of thumb or eating principles which guide my choices as I walk up and down the aisles in the supermarket, or plan my meals for the week. I do this kind of planning only now and then, because I have already integrated these principles sufficiently so that my think work is reduced to a minimum. I now go to my regular buying spots and know what I am buying for each week.
With each of the rules of thumb you can start where you are and begin moving in the right direction by making small adjustments to your choices each time and slowly make your way towards health and vitality. Of course, if you are an all-or-nothing type of person you can skip across the intermediate stages and go straight to dramatically improving your diet by choosing well and wisely.
If you think it is too hard to implement all of this at once, you are absolutely correct and I won't expect anyone to attempt it. One needs at least 30 days to learn one new habit, let alone 12. I took two years to master it myself, but you can begin right now. I have a solution for you. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you will receive one principle every month. This will help you to start making small changes every month and help you to move closer and closer to what we perceive a healthy diet to be.
