Fruity tomato sauce with kohlrabi and oranges, works as soup as well

You know the feeling of being hungry and not wanting to leave the house?
I developed this recipe by being in that mood some years ago and now this vegan dish is a regular feature of my diet. It is fast and easy to prepare, nutritious and tasty.

The kohlrabi wich is a typical german vegetable, meets the fruity taste of oranges and in combination with the tomatoes is ensures an blanced taste with a gentle tartness.

This recipe is for 8 servings. As soup for 6 servings.
Preparation time is about 30 minutes.

Advice: This sauce/soup can be freezed without problems.

Ingredients:

750 g Sieved tomatoes
250 g Vine-riped tomatoes
1 big Kohlrabi (peeled about 350g)
2 Onoins (peeled about 200g)
50 g Canola oil
400 g Orangejuice (from about 3 - 4 fresh oranges)
300 - 500 g Water (for the variation as soup)
Salt (about 2 - 3 tsp)
Pepper (about 1/2 - 1 tsp)
Grated nutmeg

Preparation:

1. Cut the tomatoes to small dices. Peel the kohlrabi and cut it to small pieces.

2. Blenderize the kohlrabi together with the sieved tomatoes.

3. Cut the onions in halves and then to very fine rings.
Heat the oil in a big pot and stew the onions by stirring permanently until they get a slight brown colour.

4. Add the blenderized vegetables, the diced tomatoes and the orangejuice (and the water if you want the variation as soup) and boil it up at middle heat.

5. Season it with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Variations:

- Bespread the sauce with roasted almond sliced or pine nuts.
- Add a tbsp of brown rice per serving.
- Replace the water (for the soup) by e.G. oat milk.
