Tomato Soup – Low Calorie

Well our tomato season is pretty much over and we had a frost warning the other evening, so it was time to pick all the tomatoes that were left on the vines. Some were getting soft so I decided to whip up a batch of home made soup. It has such few calories that you can eat lots of it without worrying, plus being chock full of vegetables you are getting more than your daily requirements. You can have a cup whenever you get the munchies without feeling guilty.

Sue’s Tomato Soup Recipe

Left over tomatoes, at least 10, chopped into quarters
3 stalks of celery
2 onions, chopped
10 cloves of garlic
2 medium carrots, chopped
Place the tomatoes with about 1 cup of water in a pot and cook until soft and falling apart.
If you don’t have a hand mixer to puree the tomatoes, just strain through a fine sieve to remove the seeds and skin.
Then add the onions, chopped garlic, celery and carrots and cook until soft.
Add seasonings to your liking. I use fresh basil, Italian herbs, salt and pepper.
Once soft puree with your hand mixer or put into a blender.
Heat back through and your soup is ready to serve.
