When I tell you this soup is good and good for you I mean it! It is one of my favorite soup recipes and it helped me lose 18 lbs. in just 7 weeks. Now don’t get me wrong, I love a good piece of homemade bread and a slice of pie as much as the next person. But the truth is that I needed to shed a few pounds. For me, one of the quickest ways is to cut out the carbs. I can hardly believe that this Low Carb Low-Calorie Homemade Tomato Soup helps me keep the weight off and I don’t miss any of the carbs or calories.
Being a carb lover and a soup lover, I really missed a good bowl of homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese…it seriously doesn’t get any more comforting than that. I knew I could say goodbye to the sandwich, but not my soup. So I can up with this low carb low calorie tomato soup that is as good, if not better, than my regular tomatoes which (which is pretty darn good too).
Canned tomatoes
As far as I’m concerned there is only one kind of canned tomatoes to use in any recipe and that’s San Marzano Tomatoes. They are actually a plum tomato that comes from Italy. They are especially sweet and rich in flavor because they are grown in volcanic soil. San Marzano Tomatoes are perfect for making sauces and soups because of their firm flesh and sweet taste.
