TOMATO SOUP

July 16, 2015 By ashavenugopal Leave a Comment

As a kid, tomato soup was my favorite. The main reason could have been that that there were not many options available back then. Eating out itself was an infrequent event, that i never really got around to checking out the other options for soups. Now, despite having tried different soups, tomato soup remains my favourite.
With no artificial flavouring or colouring agents, this recipe retains the goodness of tomatoes. Tomatoes are rich in Vitamin A, C and K. Check out Jen Reviews for more information on the health benefits of tomatoes.

Last week I decided to embark on a diet control program and in the process decided to substitute the full fledged dinner with soup. After the maggi fiasco, i thought it was better to be safe than sorry and threw away all the ready to eat noodles and soup packets. So i started poring over my old recipe books for home-made soup recipes. I came across this recipe for tomato soup that i had made quite a few times. I have had different versions of Tomato soup at different places and i like ‘this’ version the best. I learnt this recipe at a cookery class i had attended eons back. It is easy to make and tastes amazing!
